Printing in the Libraries

The UO Libraries use a pay-to-print system called UnipriNT. Using the Campus Cash service, the system requires users to authorize and pay for all of their print jobs. This system has tremendously cut down on waste, by making users weigh the necessity for paper copies of electronic data.

Patrons must have money on a Campus Cash account prior to printing.

Black & White

Black and white printing costs 8 cents ($0.08) per page. The printers default to duplexing (double-sided) when available, in accordance with University policy.

Color

The color printers are capable of single or double-sided printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. These printers default to single-sided. They accept letter size (8.5x11) paper only. Color printing costs 50 cents ($0.50) per side.

You can also check out other labs that provide color printing.

Directions

  1. Select print in the program you are sending a print job from.
  2. Go to the nearest print kiosk in your area. Staff can help you locate the appropriate kiosk.
  3. At the kiosk, swipe your UO ID, Campus Cash, or Oregon card as displayed below:

  4. Select your print job, which is identified by the computer name and the name of your document.
  5. Check the amount that you will be charged. Prices are dependent on the printer and paper size. Refunds cannot be given for misdirected print jobs.
  6. Click on the Print button in the lower right corner of the screen.
  7. Click Logout to close your account. This prevents others from using your account.

Printing From a Laptop

The UO Libraries have many ethernet connections that you may connect to for printing and internet access. If you have a wireless card, you may also connect to the internet using the wireless zones available in the libraries. The following directions will assist you in connecting to printers in the Information Technology Centers. You must complete the network setup instructions before you can connect to the printers.

Mac Laptop:

Transparencies

The Knight ITC will provide transparencies for printing. So patrons will have to send their print jobs to the color printer directly even if it's a black/white job. Patrons cannot bring their own transparencies in. The ITC lab assistant will give them the transparency which works only for the color printer and will help patrons set up the process.
