Computer Lab Printing

Students are given 200 pages of free printing credits per semester. More pages can be purchased at the cost of $0.05 per page. When your account balance reaches 0 (zero), you will not be allowed to print. If a print job you are submitting contains more pages than you have credits left, it will not print. 

There are print release systems in the ELC 214 lab and library to help conserve paper.  To use these after you have printed, please access the computer near the printers and enter in your username and password (the same username and password to login to the computer).  Then select what you would like to print then click print.

To help conserve printing resources, use the following guidelines:

• Refrain from printing pages with dark backgrounds or graphics
• Use print preview, especially when printing web pages or when using Microsoft Office programs
• Don't print unnecessary items, such as jokes or frivolous email messages
• When printing web pages, check the number of pages before you print

Paper Credit:

If a student would like to add more print credits to their account, they need to go either to the Cashier's Office in the Sharwan Smith Center or the Copy Center in the library to pay for more credits. Once that is done, the receipt should be brought to a lab assistant and the account will be updated.

Color Printing:

If students wish to print in color and do not have a class that provides color printing, there is a color printer in ELC 214. Each color page costs 6 print credits. If you wish to print in color, set your printer to HP8550, print the desired job.

Transparency Printing:

If you wish to place transparencies into the printers, be sure to check that the transparencies are rated for laserjet printers. Inkjet transparencies will melt inside the laserjet printers causing expensive damage.

Personal Computer Printing:

Students that use their personal computers to connect to the campus network can print to a number of computer lab printers around campus.
