Printing and Scanning
How to Print from Library Computers
- Print your work as you normally would. A pop up window will appear on your screen confirming the cost of your job and allowing you to cancel if necessary. NOTE: To save paper and money, duplex printing (both sides of the page) is available.
- In the pop up window, enter the "Owner name" and "Job name." This information will help you identify your print job and distinguish it from work being printed by other users.
- Go to the designated Print Release Workstation.
- Enter your NetID.
- Swipe your Mav Express Card.
- Select your print job from the list (based on the "Owner name" and "Job name" you created in step #2).
- Your job will begin printing. The first page will be a cover sheet listing your Owner name, Job name, how many pages you printed, how much it cost, how much money you have remaining on your Card, and other details.
