Printing, Scanning, and Copying

McCain Library offers access to computers, scanners, photocopiers and more to enable students, staff and faculty to manage and utilize their research more effectively. 

To use the printers/copy machine, tap your ASC ID Card at the top left of a Canon printer. It will log you in and show any pending print jobs (and you may revise options before printing). Remember to select "Log Out" twice when finished.

Printing

All students are allotted $30 per year for printing. To add money to your account in $5 increments, please visit McCain Library's Circulation Desk (takes debit/credit cards or cash) or the ITS Help Desk (cash only).

Printing costs 5 cents for a single-sided black and white page or 13 cents for a single-sided color page. To save money select "duplex" or "print on both" sides for double-sided printing. This prints one page on each side of a single sheet of paper. The cost of double-sided printing is 6 cents per sheet for black and white and 9 cents for color. Most computers default to double-sided. To print a single-sided sheet go into the Properties section of the print settings to either uncheck "print on both sides" or simplex. 

To print go to File > Print and select "Scottie Printing on Firestar." To release your print job, visit any of the following print stations:

• Floor 1 (behind the elevator, there are 2)
• Ground Floor (in a room behind the spiral stairs)
• Ground Floor (CDVL hallway, outside of the door into the main library space)

For color printing, change the print setting to color.

Scanning

In addition to the flatbed scanner available on Floor 1 of McCain Library, each of the Canon print stations noted above offers the ability to scan and email the scanned document to yourself (no cost). Several additional scanners are available in the Technology Production Studio (TPS), located on the Ground Floor of the building. Exit the library portion of the building and turn right down the hallway. The Technology Production Studio will be on your left. 

Photocopying

Photocopying is available from each of the three print stations noted above. Each copy costs 10 cents per side.  A single-sided copy will cost 10 cents and a double-sided copy will cost 20 cents. 

Faxing

Visit the Alston Campus Center Information Desk for faxing.

Wireless Printing

To print to an on-campus Canon machine from a personal computer or device, open a new email and attach the needed file(s) to the email (the preferred file format is .pdf).

The print jobs are available for printing in the same fashion used to print items sent to "Scottie Printing on Firestar" (see "Printing" directions above).
