HOW TO PRINT

When you decide to print from a library computer workstation, you will be given a choice of three "queues" from the standard pop-up printer window.

Black and white (default) \\in-ulib-baker-Any black and white printer (This is the default for all printing and costs IUPUI Affiliates $0.04 per page and Non-Affiliates $0.07 per page.) 

Color \\in-ulib-baker-Color Printer (This is to be used for standard color copies and is $1.00 per page)

Photo \\in-ulib-baker-Photo Printer (This printer does not have paper. The paper must be purchased from the 2nd Floor Circulation Desk. Only HP Glossy paper will work and it costs $1.00 per page to purchase and $1.00 per page printed.)

After you click "OK" for your print job, proceed to the closest print release station. Login using your campus Network ID and password(just like campus email) and be prompted to swipe your JagTag (or Printer-Copier Card). You will then be able to view a screen of your pending print job(s) and the option to continue to print or cancel. (Unprinted documents that have not been cancelled will remain in the system for 24 hours before being automatically deleted.)

The screen will display any cost for each print job and the bottom of the screen will show the remaining balance on your card.

How do I print from my Macintosh (Leopard -10.5 and Tiger-10.4) laptop?

IMPORTANT: The users account name (short name) on the laptop MUST match the IU/IUPUI Account username. If it does not, your print jobs will not be available on our Print Servers.

FOR 10.5: Leopard has a built in Feature to allow you to change your short name. In order to change your Short Name, go to System Preferences, Accounts, Unlock the padlock. Right-Click on your Computer Account Name and choose "Advanced Options". You should see Short Name. Change this to your IUPUI Username, click OK, and restart your computer. 

FOR 10.4: There is a utility that will allow you to change your laptop username to match your IU/IUPUI username. The utility is called ChangeShortName and is available by clicking Here (While this is a very stable utility, this is not a University utility, and University Library assumes no responsibility for using this software).

After the Utility has downloaded or you've manually made the change inside of Leopard and have autenticated to the IUPUI VPN Network, please follow the steps below for Black and White Printing:

1. Go to the Applications folder and then the Utilities folder
2. Open the Printer Setup Utility
3. Once the application is open, click on the Add button (Leave the Printer Type as:  LPD/LPR)

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. Why charge for printing?

   Over 4.5 million pages were printed on University Library (UL) public printers in 2006. Every year the number of pages printed has grown, along with the costs of paper, toner, printers and maintenance. Meanwhile the library has not received any additional funding to cover these rising costs.

2. Haven’t I already paid for printing in my technology fees?

   The IUPUI University Library does not receive any technology fees specifically for printing. Printing costs are covered by the University Library budget. While printing costs have increased each year, the University Library budget for printing has not.

3. Where else on campus can I print?
   

   All Student Technology Centers provide black-and-white printing to all IUPUI students, faculty, and staff. For more information regarding hours of operation and lab locations, please visit: http://www.iupui.edu/~stctr.

4. Why 4 cents per page?

   University Library is charging the minimum per page to assist us with rising printing costs. UL will still incur the bulk of the printing costs for students, faculty and staff.

   University Library is hoping this small charge per page will not deter users from printing necessary materials at UL, but will help curb unnecessary printing. Every day of every semester, library staff members remove stacks of printouts abandoned at our printers. Many times, the user only wanted one page of a document, but printed the entire document to save steps. Hopefully, this small charge will encourage users to print only what they require.

5. Can I bring my own paper?

   No. Changing paper quality levels and types is hard on the printers, resulting in higher printer maintenance costs and there is no good way for the library to charge users with their own paper.

   On the 4 th floor (to your left as you exit the elevator) is a printer designated for Custom Paper. The only custom paper allowed is résumé laser jet paper and colored laser jet paper. The sheets of paper must be no larger than 8 ½" x 11”.

6. Is Duplex printing available in University Library?

   No printers are set for duplex printing inside of University Library. If you wish to print in duplex, please visit one of the Student Technology Centers (More Info).

7. Can I save money by duplex printing?

   No. Duplex printing is very hard on printer hardware, resulting in frequent paper jams and hardware problems. The increase in maintenance costs outweighs the savings in paper for University Library.

8. How am I charged if I am an IUPUI/IU Affliliate?

   If you are a JAGTAG carrying student, staff or faculty member of IUPUI, take your JAGTAG to the nearest DART machine and add money to your account. In University Library, you’ll find a DART machine located on the 2nd level, across from the Reference Desk. Once there is money on the card, you may swipe your JAGTAG at any University Library Print Release Station to release your print jobs. There will be an automatic deduction from your JAGTAG account of 4 cents per page.

9. What other options do I have for adding money to my Jagtag?

   For a full list of options on adding funds to your Jagtag, please see: https://www.jagtag.iupui.edu/dep_options.htm

10. What if I forgot my JAGTAG or I don’t have one and must print today?

    You may purchase a University Library Printer-Copier Card at the Circulation Desk for $2.00. You can use this card to release your print jobs at any University Library Print Release Station. There is $1 worth of printing available on the card upon purchase and you may add additional funds to the card at any DART machine. If you are an IUPUI student or faculty/staff member, you will be charged a 4 cents per page for all black-and-white print outs. If you are an IUPUI guest, you will be charged 7 cents per page for all black-and-white print outs. All users will be charged $1 per page for color print outs.

11. What is the procedure for refunds?

    Most errors can be reprinted at the Reference and Consultant Desks on 2nd Level, the Consultant Desk on 4th Level, and in Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives on the Lower Level. Our misprints policy states that if any error is caused by printer error or equipment malfunction, we will reprint.

12. I don't have a JagTag, where can I get one?
    
    The Main Office of Campus JagTag Services is located in the Campus Center, Suite 217. For more information, visit: http://www.JagTag.iupui.edu.
    
    
13. Can my Bloomington Card work on a University Library Print Station?

    Bloomington cards will not work with the IUPUI Print Management System. Persons affiliated with IUPUI can apply for a campus JagTag or purchase a UL Printer-Copier Card.
