Printing

 

Printing from our public computers

All public access computers in the library are connected to a printer for public printing. When submitting a print job, the print system will tell you how many pages it is, and how much it will cost. Print jobs are not actually printed out until they are paid for, so any print jobs that are sent by mistake can be deleted.

Computers on the first floor:

  • Price: Black and white ($0.15/page), Color ($0.25/page)
    • Select the appropriate printer when printing–“Circ BW” (default) or “Circ Color”
    • Prints sent to “Circ Color” will be charged full color price, even if there is no color ink on the page.
    • Cash/check only
  • Paper type: Single-sided, 8.5″ x 11″ paper. We cannot accommodate requests for special paper.
  • Collecting your printouts: Patrons may pay for and release their print jobs at the self-service print release terminal, located next to the Circulation Desk.

Printing from your home computer, laptop, or mobile phone
