Printing in Black & White:                                     Color Printing

  1. From any computer in the library, request your print job using the normal print commands for the program you are using. For example, in Word you would select File … Print.
  2. At the print options box you will see two printer choices in the “Select Printer” section. The default option, “OCS”, is for regular black and white printing. For color printing, select “Lanier Color”.
  3. Once your print options are set, press the “Print” button.
  4. A blue and gray screen will appear indicating the cost of your print job.
  5. Click in the box marked “Please Enter Exact Account”, and then swipe your card through the card swipe on the right side of the monitor.
  6. Click in the box marked “Please Enter PIN #”, and enter the number you created when you setup your account.
  7. Click in the box marked “Description” and provide a name for your print job.
  8. Press the button marked “Send to Print Release Station”.
  9. Go to any one of the “Public Copier/ Network Printer” rooms.
  10. At the printer/copier, swipe your card through the card reader attached to the printer.
  11. When prompted, enter your PIN number and then press the “Enter” key.
  12. Press “3” on the keypad to retrieve your Print jobs.
  13. Use the “+” and “-” arrow keys to scroll through your print jobs, and select the job you wish to print.
  14. Press “9” to print your job.
  15. The card reader will then verify the total cost of the job. Press “1” to confirm that you wish to continue with the print request.
  16. At this point you will be asked to “1 – Delete” your print job, or “3 – Leave” it on the server. Press “3”. We recommend that you leave your print job on the server in case you need to make another copy. Your print job will be automatically deleted from the system after 24 hours.

    Note:
  • A $1.00 minimum is required to open a printing account.
  • A balance of at least $.10 must be maintained on your card. (This means that you cannot print if you only have $.10 on your card)
  • Regular black & white printers with 8.5"x11" paper are located in each printer room.
  • The color printer is located in the copy room on the north side of the second floor. Color printing costs $1.00 per page.
  • There are no other specialty (i.e. transparency, 11"x17", etc.) printers available.
