OAL Computers and Printing:

·         Students, Faculty*, & Staff*- Use your Net ID login/password to access the Open Access Lab (OAL) online and printing resources.  Students pay a Library fee each semester, enabling them to print up to $30 worth of documents.  OAL computers and printers are located throughout the Evans and Annex Libraries. (* Faculty and Staff members can access any OAL computer whether or not they have print allocations.)

·         Community Users-  We invite members of our community to use the Evans Library.  After obtaining a temporary use ID, feel free to use our computers.  Printing is available.  To print, please complete the following steps: 

1. After logging on to any OAL computer and completing your task, select the print option.  As a community user, the system should default to the Canon 3025 printer on the 1st Floor of the Evans Library.  You are welcome to check your print destination to make sure your print job is going to the Canon 3025 printer. 
   
2. Go to the special Gateway 2400 computer on the 1st Floor, located on the north side of the OAL computers between the two printers (http://screencast.com/t/NbeF5jfWbn)Your specific print job will be displayed.
3. After purchasing a copy card from a copy card machine (http://screencast.com/t/If4rlhD09FZ) or adding money to an existing copy card, insert your copy card into the device to the right of the Gateway 2400 computer. 
   
4. You may now click on your specific print job and release it to print to the Canon 3025 printer.  When you print, $.10 will be deducted from your copy card for each page printed.  When you are through printing, push the button on the copy card reader box to retrieve your card for later use.
