Photocopiers & Laser Printers in the Law Library

Prepared by James Duggan, SIU Law Library — Updated August 2006

Copiers

There are 4 new copiers in the Law Library (3 on the first floor, 1 on the second floor). One of the machines on the first floor takes coins; the rest use Debit Dawg Cards or SIUC Copy Cards.

Cost: $.25 if you use coins; $.10 if you use a Debit Dawg Card or SIUC Copy Card. The cost remains the same no matter what size paper you select. The copiers contain letter-sized paper (one also contains legal-sized paper). The paper trays on the machines indicate what size paper is available on that machine.

Change Machine

There is one change machine on campus – at the student center, on the 1st floor near the Info Station. There is no change machine in the School of Law.

Debit Dawg Cards

A Debit Dawg Card machine is installed in the Law Library copier room. (Note: there are also Debit Dawg Card machines in Morris Library and at the Student Center). You can add money to your university student ID/Debit Dawg Card or to your SIUC Copy Card. You can also purchase SIUC Copy Cards, but it will cost $.50 (50 cents). Do not throw away the cards! You can check the balance on your card by inserting your card and pressing the “check balance” button.

If you still have an IKON copy card with credit on it, visit Check Cashing on the second floor of the Student Center and get cash for whatever amount is remaining on your card. You may only obtain refunds on IKON cards up until September 15, 2006.

Laser Printing

This new system will allow you to print anywhere on campus. You can send a print job and go to any XEROX printer release station (excluding Lindegren) on campus within two hours and print out your job. You will also be able to print using your laptop (note: Tom Furby and his staff will be offering student workshops and accepting student appointments to install the necessary software in the next couple of weeks). You will be able to see your specific print job by using your network ID. You no longer will see any one else's print job but your own. See specific printing instructions on the back of this memo.

It is important to note that if you type in your network ID incorrectly it will seem as though it printed out without a problem but it actually did not print. You will be unable to recover your print job if this happens. So be careful.

Cost changes

• Black and white: $.10 per page
• Color: $.70 per page

Duplex printing is also available. If you print double-sided, you will be charged less for the second page. For example, if you were to print two pages double-sided, it would cost 16 cents instead of 20 cents (10 cents for the front, 6 cents for the back). When printing color, the cost for two pages double-sided would be $1.12 instead of $1.40.

Also when printing color, remember that every page in the document will be charged at the color rate, so separately print only the exact pages you want in color. Other questions, please check the FAQs at http://www.infotech.siu.edu/clc/print/index.html
