Library Tip Tuesday: Printing, Copying, and Scanning

Every other Tuesday, the Library brings you helpful tips for using your library resources more effectively.  Today, we’re going to talk about printing, copying, and scanning within the library.

Printing

We’ve made some changes to the printers here- you can now print in color on the first floor! As part of our print-anywhere system, you can also release your print jobs from any machine in the building. Not sure what that means? Let’s explain.

Simply print your document from any campus computer, or from your own computer (download the driver here). The following box will appear:

Supply your TRACKS ID (in the NetID box) and a name for your print job. Next, go to the nearest printer and slide your student ID. (You did add Panther Cash to your account, right?)

Find your document in the queue, select, and print! It’s that easy.

You can print from the following locations across campus:

Applied Computing Center
Florida Tech Commons Room 260
Evans Library 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd floors
Evans Hall 205
Olin Engineering Student Lounge
Olin Engineering Rooms 127, 128, 130, 132, 228, and 229

Copying and Scanning

Each of the four printers within the library can also copy and scan. Scanning is free, but copying will cost you- see the table at the bottom of this post for prices.

To copy, simply slide your student ID at the copier, select “Copy,” and copy your materials. Don’t forget to slide your card again to log out. To scan, slide your ID and select “Scanner” instead of “Copy,” then press “Manual Entry” to enter your email address. Follow the directions on the screen to send a scan of your materials to yourself.

The library also owns two KIC Bookeye scanners. You can learn how to use these by watching the following video tutorials from Texas Tech University Libraries:

Remember, copying and printing transactions can only be completed with Panther Cash and your student ID.
