Printing
Printing in the computer labs is from one colour and two black and white high-speed laser printers located in the halls by Ewing 110. These printers will do single or double sided printing. You can only print on the paper provided and are not permitted to use your own, be it paper or transparency. If you need to print on transparencies or specialty stock, please go to your Audio Visual department or the Printshop for your campus.
There is a charge for printing. The print management software informs the user what they will be charged before a document is printed. Printer account "top up" cards maybe purchased from the campus Bookstores, Registration Cashiers and (if it is after hours for the Bookstores and Registration Cashiers) from the Library.
