Key Things to Know:
- Printing costs 10 cents per page (includes color printing).*
- Campus Cards (your Columbia ID) are required for all print jobs. For information about adding money to your Campus Card, please visit the Campus Card Office website.
- Don’t have a Campus Card? Purchase a Go Print card with cash on the 1st Floor – also known as cash-to-card or the purple card.
- Oasis course schedules and Library Catalog records are free to print, but you still need to swipe your Campus Card to release the print jobs.
- In a hurry? There is a Quick Print station available on the 1st Floor for printing Microsoft Word documents only.
- The color printer is located on the 1st Floor.
How to print:
Send the print job as you normally would. If you want to print in color change the printer location to 1st Floor Xerox Color.
Make a note of the number on your computer monitor.
Go to the touch-screen monitor next to the printer. Select the bubble that corresponds to the computer that you printed from.
Then select the items you would like to print (note the color changes to green to indicate you’ve selected it).
Now, press continue and then swipe your campus card.
Locating a printer:
There are computers on every floor of the library and printers on the first three floors. You can retrieve black-and-white print jobs from any printer, but if you are printing in color you must retrieve your print jobs from the 1st Floor printer.
EXCEPTION: If you are paying for printing with cash, you will pay and pick up your print job from the 1st Floor printer.
Go Print cash-to-card instructions:
The Go Print cash-to-card machine only takes dollar bills (no coins). It costs $1 to purchase a new print card – 50 cents of that $1 is for the cost of the card and 50 cents can be used to pay for printing. Adding more money to the card can be done at any time at the Go Print cash-to-card machine.
Still confused? Ask library staff for help. We don’t mind, really!
