There are times over the course of the school year when Microsoft and Apple release updates to their operating systems. Please DO NOT apply these updates immediately if you are planning to use your computer to take mid-term and final exams, because some may not be compatible with ExamSoft.
Please check with this site: lawtech.pepperdine.edu or our vendor’s site: examsoft.com before your update your OS. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to check in with the support desk in the Harnish Law Library or send an email to support@law.pepperdine.ed
Pepperdine Caruso Law uses a secure exam software to administer exams from ExamSoft.com. This software is sensitive to changes in operating systems because it is designed to ensure a totally secure exam environment. When there is a change to your OS, ExamSoft may no longer function properly.
If you have a Microsoft Windows computer, Windows (number here – like 10 or 11) is your “OS” or operating system. If you have an Apple Mac computer, then you are running some variant of macOS (pronounced “mack oh ess”).
IF YOU NEED ANY TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO INFORMATION SERVICES AT (310) 506-7425 OR SUPPORT@LAW.PEPPERDINE.EDU.
The Harnish Law Library maintains two copiers that will print in either color or black and white. This service is for Pepperdine users only.
Price per color impression is $0.35. This means if you print a color document that is duplexed (printed on both sides) you will be charged $0.70 for that piece of paper (if there’s color on both sides).
Note that if you choose to print a document that has some pages that are black and white and some that contain color, each black and white page will be charged at $0.06/impression (side of a page of paper) and the color impressions (sides of a page) will be charged at $0.35 each. Yep, it’s a kinda smart system.
To access this color copier using your laptop or other device please go to THIS PAGE for detailed instructions.
Shared Account Users: For instructions on how to print documents from a personal computer using a shared account, please review this guide.
Information on School of Law provided print credit to School of Law students is HERE.
To do a quick color (or B&W) print job:
Make sure your document is in PDF format
Make sure you have money on your ID Card (to add or to check go here) — If you don’t have funds on your account (separate from the law school printing account) you can’t print anything.
You will need to login to this page with you Wavenet credentials
Then click on the Web Print option on the left hand list of options then click on Submit a Job
Follow the prompts (pick FindmeColor or FindmeBW) Note that the charge for color is $0.35 per impression (but only for the pages with COLOR on them, pages with black and white are charged at $0.06)
Select your number of copies (that’s your only option on this page – at this point this service does not support duplexing, or stapling)
Upload your file — or drag it to the designated area on the screen.
You will need to go to the copier to Release the job
At the copier, login using your Wavenet credentials
Select your print job from the list and release it
To Make a Copy
Make sure you have money on your ID Card (to add or to check go here) — If you don’t have funds on your account (separate from the law school printing account) you can’t copy anything.
At the copier, login using your Wavenet credentials
Select Device Functions
Select Copy
Follow the normal prompts as you make your copies
NOTE: This system absolutely will NOT allow you to go beyond your available funds in your account (see #1 above to check your balance). For this reason, you may get logged off immediately after you do your first copy job. To learn how to ensure that you don’t get logged off do a “Job Build” to avoid needing to log in for each successive copy job you want to do.
Pepperdine University has multi-function devices (MFDs) from Sharp (you can still call them copiers but they’re much more). You will find two such MFDs in the public area of the Harnish Law Library at Caruso Law. Additionally, there is another MFD in the Career Development Office.
Students, Faculty, and Staff can print, scan, or copy on the MFDs using an account associated with their Pepperdine ID cards. Students buy copy and print credit here: https://get.cbord.com/pepperdine/full/prelogin.php
All enrolled students can print to all Sharp MFDs in public areas at any of the Pepperdine Southern California campuses (click here to learn about print credit for students enrolled at Caruso Law). Printing in color or black and white is possible and a document with a mix of color and black and white pages will only incur the higher cost for color on the pages where there is color.
Typically, print jobs are sent via the web using a web-browser interface. In nearly all circumstances, your document that you want to print must be in PDF format.
You transfer/upload your PDF file to the print.pepperdine.edu site and select your parameters (number of copies, etc.). If you want to print in color, you want to select a “findmecolor” solution (see more information here) or “findmebw” for black and white.
Then once the document is uploaded, you go to the copier nearest you — Caruso Law? go to Harnish Law Library and see the copiers not too far from the Public Services Desk.
“Tap” your ID card or type in your Wavenet credentials (there’s a slide-out keyboard stored under the copier’s screen), select the print job you want to “release” and you have your document!
Your WavesCashGlobal account can be used to buy food at the cafeterias on campus in addition to using the new copier/print system.
If you want a refund, you can do that through the University’s cashier’s office within 90 days of graduation. (As per university policy for copier transactions note that the minimum refund is $5.00.)

CALI Registration Code: In order to take advantage of the CALI interactive online tutorials, you will need to register with the CALI service. You will need the institutional registration code to do so. The Caruso Law CALI registration code is available in the Harnish Law Library at the Public Services Desk or you can send an email requesting the registration code to CALI-INFO@law.pepperdine.edu.

On the first day of each term students enrolled at Caruso Law will receive $30 of non-refundable, non-transferable print/copy credit to be used through the University’s copy/print system called PaperCut.
PaperCut manages the copy and print functions of the Sharp Multi-function printer/copiers.
Note that the credit provided by the Caruso School of Law each term does not carry forward if a balance remains at the end of the term. The first day of a term is the first day of classes. The last day of a term is the day before the start of the next term (first day of classes for Fall, Spring, Summer).
New students will not receive credit until the first day of classes.
The credit provided by the Caruso School of Law can only be used for copy or print jobs. This credit cannot be used at the cafeteria for food purchases.
When the credit applied to a student’s PaperCut account is exhausted before the end of the term, further copier or print use must be covered by funds provided by the student in their Waves Cash Global account. If a student has funds in that account, there is no need for any action to be taken as the system will automatically charge the copy or print usage against the available funds on deposit in that account. If there are no funds in a student’s Waves Cash Global account, funds must be added to make copies or print.
