Library Technology LibGuide: Printing

This guide will help with some of the more common computer / technology issues

All about Printing

Students are given a $25.00 printing balance at the beginning of each semester (this balance will not roll over semester to semester) for use in the computer labs and copy machines throughout campus. This is the equivalent of 500 single-sided black & white print pages.

As you print or make copies, the cost is deducted from this balance.  If you need more money added to your printing account, you can add money to your Carolina Card through the Self Service Carolina Website. You can make deposits 24/7 with a minimum of $10.00 through the CarolinaCard Options in my.sc.edu.  Your deposit will load to your CarolinaCard within 5 minutes.

Once you have clicked print to send the document to either the BW Student Held Queue or Color Student Held Queue, then you can release the print job at any of the HP "Multi-Functional Printers" (MFPs) around campus. Your print job will be purged from the print queue approximately 18 hours after the time you clicked print on the computer. 

You will only be charged when you release the print job at one of the HP "Multi-Functional Printers" (MFPs) around campus.  The library has 4 MFPs including one in the 24/7 Computer Lab, that are supplied with letter size paper.  To print on larger paper, legal or tabloid, a printer in the Student Center @ Student Life is available to students.
