Remember to log out of your account before you leave the lab.
Canceling Print Jobs
A print job cannot be canceled. Print jobs are not released until after you have entered your network password at the print release station and selected which jobs you wish to release. Jobs that have not been released within 10 hours of being sent to the printer queue will be deleted from the printer queue.
Printer Malfunction
Our printers are kept in good working order; however, you may receive pages with poor quality from low toner or other printer malfunctions. Please inform the Reference desk/IT Service desk on duty, who will apply for a refund for you, which will then be credited to your account.
Under NO circumstances should other types of paper or other materials be placed into the printers, since they are calibrated for the specific types of paper. The objects may jam and damage the printer's internal components.
You are responsible for keeping your password and user ID safe. You will not be reimbursed for any changes made to your account by another student. We encourage you to contact the IT Help Desk if you believe another student is using your user ID and password.
