Google has recently made changes to Google Drive security. You may be prompted to log in multiple times as you add files at the print station. We suggest using the mobile app to add files ahead of time.
Log in to your Google account, and choose files to upload.
At The Print Station
Choose the Google Drive icon.
If you have used it before, your previously printed files will be available in the list. If you have not used it, log in to your Google account.
Google now requires authentication each time you add files from Drive.
To add more files, tap the Get More Files button.
Snap the QR code and open the link. If you are not logged in to your Google account, you will be prompted to select your account or log in. Use the same account that you used on the Print Station.
Choose a file to print. After selection, the file will be available on the print station. Continue there to choose your settings.
If you cannot use the QR code, tap the Use Browser Here button, log in with your Google username and password, and select a file to add.

Email-To-Print
Email is a good option for a visitor or guest who is on their own device. When we don’t recognize the sender, we will process the attached files and provide one or more ‘Wepa Codes’ to release the files at a print station.
Optionally, set options like “Color” or “Duplex” in the email body. Refer to the Email-To-Print support article for more details about how to set print options by email.
An email reply should appear shortly in the Inbox with the status of the upload attempt. If successful, a ‘Wepa Code’ will be available like below. Click the ‘Edit Options’ on the right to change the print settings:

Payment Methods
After selecting ‘Print’ at the wepa print station, the payment view will appear with options:
The ‘Wepa Account’ payment option is for users with an account setup with wepa. A username/password or a campus card associated with your account will be needed to proceed with this option.
The ‘Campus Card’ payment option is for users that have a campus card or guest campus card if available.
The ‘Print Card’ payment option is for Wepa print cards.
The ‘Credit Card / Pay On Phone’ option is for using a credit card or payment service. NOTE – there is a $0.40 fee per transaction under $5.00. A user can create a free Wepa account to deposit a minimum of $5.00 and avoid the fee.
Wepa Express allows touch-free document release and secure document release by another person. Wepa Express is available in the Wepa Mobile App and at wepanow.com.

Then, tap the print station in the lower right to log in to a print station, or to give a code to someone else.
Tap the print station to proceed
The Wepa Express summary screen will tell you if you are ready to release, and it will also show a Wepa Code if your documents can be released without a payment card swipe or tap at the print station. You may be prompted to add funds or change your payment method.
Log In
The Wepa Mobile App will tell you the best way to log in to the print station, using NFC (where available) or your campus card. Your documents will print immediately after you log in to the print station. If you need to swipe a card for payment and you do not use it to log in, you will be prompted to present the card, and then the documents will print.
Give someone the Wepa Code
Give the Wepa Code to another person to have them release the documents on your behalf (they won’t have access to your account). When the code is used, a confirmation screen will appear and the documents will print after pressing the Print button. This option is not available if a payment card needs to be presented to release the documents.

F A Q
What is Wepa Express? Wepa Express allows you to set up your document release ahead of time, with payment. From there, you can release the documents at any print station without having to touch the screen, or you can give a secure Wepa Code to another person to have them release the documents on your behalf.
Why should I use Wepa Express? Wepa Express allows you to print easily without touching the print station screen. With the Wepa Mobile App, you can print files from your phone or from cloud storage sources like Google Drive and OneDrive. Select your files to release and your payment method, and all you have to do is tap your phone or swipe your card to release your documents. It’s the fastest and safest way to print!
What can I do with the Wepa Code? Right now, the fewer people touching the print station the better. Use the Wepa Code with a staff-assisted pickup service (where available). Faculty can accept Wepa Codes for assignments and release all of the documents for the class. A group of friends can send one person to release documents for the whole group.
What if the print station doesn’t have NFC and I don’t have a login card? Some Wepa Print Stations do not have NFC to use for login with the mobile app. If you do not have a login card, log in by username and password. After logging in, use the menu option to “Tag” a card of your choice to use for login next time. Then, sanitize your hands.
Quickly and conveniently print files by attaching them to an email, sending them to print@wepanow.com, and picking them up from any print station. The following support post provides more details!
