Printing & Photocopying

Printing

Printing costs 12 cents per page for black and white and 50 cents for color. Print stations are located in the Reference area in the North wing and the Periodicals area in the East wing, both on the 2nd floor. There are also print stations in Core 1 and Core 3 on the 3rd floor and Core 1 on the 5th floor. A color printer in the Student Computing Services Computer Lab (Basement, East wing) will also accept print jobs from library computers. The color printer may be selected from any library computer. Simply choose the color printer from the dropbox that appears when you give the print command. Color prints cost 50 cents a page. [Map of printer station locations]

Please Note: Duplex printing is not currently available in Young Library; see the IKON website for duplex printing location available on campus.

Computers on the 1st through 5th floors in the library will print from any print station throughout the building. When you select the print command, a window titled "Pharos Popup Client" will appear. Type in any brief name you choose; that name will then appear in the menu on the print station screen when you swipe your ID or printing/copying (Plus) card. If you wish to print from a wireless connection, you will need to download a print driver.

In order to print from the computers, you must have money on your student ID. If you do not have a UK or BCTC student ID, you must buy a Plus card from one of the DART (CSVT) machines in the building. These machines function much like an ATM machine. Each machine features a deposit slot and a menu window offering three choices: Inquire Balance, Make a Deposit, or Buy a Card. You can also add money to your card on the Dining and Plus Account Office website.

Plus cards cost $1.00. Push the button on the DART (CSVT) machine marked "Buy a Card." Next, deposit a $1.00 bill. Do not use any bill larger than a $1.00 bill. The machine will not recognize any bill larger than a $1.00 bill and the remainder will be lost.

The Plus card itself costs $1.00 -- you must add money to the card in order to print. To add money to the card, push the "Make a Deposit" button. The machine accepts $1.00, $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00 bills, but change is not given. If you insert a $20.00 bill into the machine when making a deposit, $20.00 is going to be added to the card.

The DART machines may also be used to add more money to a student ID or an existing Plus account.

Please note that if Plus cards are not used for some time, the account will become inactive. Please contact the Dining and Plus Account Office at 257-6159 to reactivate your account.

For refunds to Plus cards or student IDs, contact the Dining and Plus Account Office (257-6159) or come to any service desk and ask a staff member to submit a Printer Refund Request.

Printing from the microform machines in the East wing on the second floor costs 12 cents per page.
