e~Print Information and Instructions

e~Print is a Web based product that uses Internet technology and SCT's Value Base Security to distribute reports across the campus. All you need is a web browser and Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to read, print or download information into Word, Excel and other databases. Paper printing (complete and selective pages) will always be an option for the end user, but will be exception based and printed in the user's area.

e~Print Saves Time: Where you used to wait hours or days for a printout to arrive from the computer center, you can be notified by email and access the report the minute it is created. The user departments save a considerable amount of time to do their real job instead of handling, accessing, storing, etc. the hard-copy reports and possibly manually re-entering the data into another database.

e~Print Saves Money: Printers, paper, printer supplies, printer maintenance, etc. and time are money. The automated, secure virtual bursting saves the time consuming effort of separating reports and stuffing envelopes to be sent through the campus mail.

The following list includes the requirements for using e~Print as well as the web address for instructions and access.

• Version 4.0 or higher of either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator is required.
• Version 4.0 or higher of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded for free. Go to the Adobe Reader download page and select the download button.

Further e~Print information and instructions can be found on the UConn Health Center's Information Technology web site at http://itweb.uchc.edu/eprint/eprint.htm.  Once you are familiar with e~Print, you can go directly to the reports at http://eprint.uchc.edu/cgi-bin/eprint.cgi.  It is strongly suggested that you add it as a bookmark in your browser. Currently these web sites are only accessible from within the Health Center.

The General Accounting staff has reviewed the process and can assist you with problems you may encounter. Please contact the individual assigned to you with any questions.

A few items that require special note:

• Your four digit FRS operator number is the User ID on the e~Print login screen.
• Your FRS Password is the Password on the e~Print login screen.
• The drill allows you to view a particular version of a report. The magnifying glass allows you to search a report for an image. So remember - drill, magnify and search.
• When searching on a particular six digit account, the system searches for the appearance of an image. You must therefore enter the account in the X-XXXXX format (e.g. 1-23456).

These items are discussed further on the e~Print instructions page.
