$0.08/page

Printing in the Lab

To select between color and black and white printing, use the print command of the application you are using and select the appropriate printer in the Print dialogue box. To select between single sided and double sided printing, click the Properties button in the Print dialogue box and select the appropriate print mode. To get the printouts, print the document and proceed to the Print Station Computer.  Swipe the Hoot Loot card through the card reader to see the list of print jobs.  Highlight the desired job and click the print button.  


Print Anywhere

With "Print Anywhere", you no longer need to log into lab computers to print to lab printers. Instead, you can now print to the SCSU Mobile Print Service from personal computers and collect printouts from any lab printers on the campus. "Print Anywhere" is available for both Windows and Mac OS. Jobs sent to the mobile print service will stay in the queue for 24 hours, within which time you can simply go to any lab print station on the campus and swipe your hoot-loot card to release job from the printer. The hoot-loot account will not be charged until the you release the job for printing. Note that there is no charge for faculty members. In order to take advantage of this service, you must download and install a mobile printing plug-in application on your personal computer that is available from SCSU Share. Once the plug-in is installed, you will see four mobile print services in print folder, they are:

  • SCSU Mobile B&W Single-sided
  • SCSU Mobile B&W Double-sided
  • SCSU Mobile Color Single-sided
  • SCSU Mobile Color Double-sided

When you try to print a file, these four mobile print services will also show up in the print dialog box. Simply select the type of service that you wish to use, PRINT, and go to the nearest lab print station to pay and collect your printout.
