How to Print

This guide explains how degree-seeking, and summer intensive students, faculty, and staff can print using the standard black & white and color printers and open lab plotters on campus.

If printing from your personal laptop, before you can print you must first download and install our printing software.

 

Prepare your file for printing 

Many print errors are caused when the format of the document is not correct for the selected printer, or because of the document’s properties. 

Using the letter (8.5” x 11”) and tabloid (11” x 17”) paper sizes will work for the majority of documents printed on our B&W, Color, and Pro Color printers. 

If your document is A4 then you may still be able to use the print option window and shrink it to fit the letter size. If this is not an option, or does not work, then changing the size of the document itself will be necessary. 

If your document does not print, try saving your original file as a PDF in the page size on which you want it to print. Then print the PDF.
