Printing in Auraria Library

To print articles and other research information from the Web, you must first purchase a printer card. Copies are 15¢ per page.

Buy a printer card

Initially, a printer card costs $1.00 in bills [sorry, coins don't work in the venda machines]. You may purchase a printer card at a venda machine or at certain service desks in the Library:

  • Clicks, the copy center located in the Periodicals Department of the Library. You may purchase a card with a check or credit card. You may also obtain change at Clicks.
  • the venda machine on the table across from the Reference Desk
  • the venda machine near the printers in the Computer Commons
  • the Circulation deesk staff can give out change and break bills as well as sell cards only if Clicks is closed or the machines are down at Reference and the Computer Commons area.

NOTE:

  • The staff at the Reference Desk, Reserves/Audio-Media and Computer Commons CANNOT make change.
  • You are paying 25¢ for the printer card -- don't discard it! Printer cards may be "recharged" with additional money added to the card for future print jobs.

 

Recharge a printer card

  • Insert your card into the venda machine under the yellow arrow [left side of machine].
  • Insert bills on the lower right side. No change is given.
  • You may also check to see the amount charged on your card by inserting the card under the yellow arrow [left side of machine].

 

Retrieving your printing

Be certain you are printing what you want. Use the print preview function to look at your job[s] before you send the job to the printer [file ->> print preview]

At the printer area:

  • Click “Release A Print Job”
  • Using the keyboard enter your Student ID Number, click OK
  • Click a Print Job or click the Multiple Jobs icon and click the jobs you wish to print
  • Click the PRINT icon
  • Click CASH PAYMENT
  • Insert your payment card
  • Pick up your document(s)

Your card will eject as your job[s] begin to print. Print jobs remain in the system for an hour.
