Mansfield Student Handbook: Printing

Handbook for the student assistants of the Bromfield Library & Information Commons. Includes topics ranging from checking out a book to calling off sick.

Printing

The library has a card-based pay-to-print system.

For OSU students:

Students can add money to their student IDs with a credit card or debit card

  • via the BUCKID website ($10 minimum). Funds will be available instantly.
  • by calling the number on the back of the student ID during business hours, 614-292-0400

OR

purchase a $5 print card from us (cash only)

For NCSC students

purchase a $5 print card from us (cash only)

  • NCSC students can also print for free until SP17 in the Fallerius computer labs
  • AU16: NCSC cannot add funds to their student IDs to use for printing in the library (their IT department started printing ID cards that are incompatible with our pay-to-print system). Student ID's issued prior to AU16 will still work for printing in the library (so if students have any old balances, they can still use them)

Other helpful hints:

  • Printing & Copying costs per page:  B&W $0.04 / Color $0.15
  • Changing a toner cartridge: Toner cartridges are stored in the processing room. Match the number of the printer to the cartridge. After removing the old cartridge place it back in its box and notify your supervisor. Save all cartridge boxes and store in the processing room. Supervisor will send empty cartridges to Marna Utz OV-15
    • Throw away waste toner cartridge (Marna does not want those)
  • Selling a print card: record the transaction on the sheet provided in the cash drawer (record $5 for one, $10 for two, etc.)
