Checking MavPrint Balance

Body

Overview

This article gives a step by step walkthrough on how students can check their MavPrint balance online, through an app, or at a MavPrint station.

How-To

Note: Students receive a $20.00 MavPrint allocation each semester. After it’s used, printing costs accrue as an Arrears Balance, which is charged to the student’s university account at semester’s end. Black and white prints cost $0.05 per page, and color prints cost $0.40 per page. Printing will be suspended once your Arrears Balance Reaches -$50.00. To make a payment, visit the Wiecking Center Copy Shop (WC310).

There are three ways to check your MavPrint balance:

MavPrint Mobile

  1. Go to MavPrint Mobile and log in with your StarID and Password.

  2. Your balance appears in the bottom-left corner of the page.

    • MavPrint: Remaining portion of your $20 semester allocation.

    • Arrears Balance: Amount owed for printing beyond $20. This is billed to your university account at the end of the semester.

    • When your balance reaches $0.00, it automatically switches to an Arrears Balance.

Pharos Print App

  1. Download the Pharos Print app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

  2. Enter the following details:

    • Server Address: mavprintmobile.mnsu.edu

    • Port: 443

  3. Tap Connect, then log in using your StarID and Password (do not include @go.minnstate.edu).

  4. Your balance appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

    • MavPrint: Remaining free printing funds.

    • Arrears Balance: Additional amount owed for the semester.

MavPrint Printer Release Station

  1. On the MavPrint laptop next to each printer, log in using your StarID and Password.

  2. Your balance appears in the lower-left corner of the display.

    • MavPrint: Remaining free balance.

    • Arrears Balance: Amount that will be charged to your university account at semester’s end.
