Library: Accessible ... Exceptional
Photocopying & Printing
Photocopiers are located on the 1st floor in the Reference area and next to the "New Books" shelf; on the 3rd floor - one in Special Collections, one across from the University Archives and another outside the Multimedia Center; and on the 4th floor, opposite the atrium.
Printing stations: Print jobs sent from Library computers are directed to print stations located on the 1st floor in the Reference area, outside the Library Computer Computer Learning Center, and in Current Periodicals. On the 3rd floor, you can find a printing station in Multimedia Services.
Color print jobs will only be listed on stations that have a color printer attached. There are two color printing stations; one in the Reference Center on the 1st floor and another in the Multimedia Center on the 3rd floor.
Microform printers are available in the Current Periodical area on the first floor and in Special Collections on the third floor.
See floor plans for more detailed locations. Look for this icon:
Photocopiers: Some photocopiers will accept your VikingCard for payment, and you may add value to your cards at a VikingCard Cash Management Center, conveniently located on the first floor between the Circulation and Reference areas. All copiers will also accept coins or bills.
Printing Stations: Printouts can be made by using cash or, in some locations, by using a Viking or copy card. Value can be added to a VikingCard at the VikingCard Cash Management Center located on the first floor between the User Services Center and the Reference area. If you do not have a VikingCard and need to print a job that exceeds $10.00, a copy card can be purchased at the Circulation desk for the amount of the print job you need. You can check for the cost of your printing on the Uniprint machines: see Computer Printing instructions below for more details
Cost: Black and white copies or printouts cost 10¢; color printouts 50¢.
Of Note to Faculty: Some academic departments have made arrangements with the Library to charge back copy expenses. Faculty from those departments, after registration, can request delivery of copies to their office through Document Delivery Plus.
COMPUTER PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the program's file menu, click 'print preview' to determine how many pages you are printing and to see how the page will appear. Then select 'print.' If you do not see the print preview option or the preview does not look like what you see on the screen, the print functionality may be different for the item you are viewing. Please ask at the nearest service desk.
In the print dialog box that will appear, choose the printer. The default is set at black & white-10¢ a page. For color printouts, drop down the 'printer name' menu and select 'COLOR'-50¢ per page. Click 'ok' when you are done.
In the PHAROS Popup Client box that appears, enter your name or the name of the print job. Optionally, you may enter a password. Be careful when choosing a password. If you do not remember the exact password you will be unable to retrieve your printouts. Click 'ok'.
Next, go to a print station.
- You can see a list of print jobs available by either swiping your Viking or copy card through card reader with the black strip facing you on the key board of the card print station or by moving the mouse on a coin-op station. Highlight your job to see the cost. If the print job costs more than $10.00, you will not be able to use the cash payment option. If you are using a Viking or copy card, click 'print' and the cost will be automatically deducted from your card. If you are using coins, deposit the money in the vending device and then click 'print'.
When in the Library, please direct any questions concerning the Cash Management Center, printers, photocopiers, or microform printers to the nearest service desk. While the equipment is intended to be self-serve, you may welcome a little help, especially the first time.
