Printing & Copying

Printing

Cardinal Stritch University uses PaperCut, an eco-friendly print management solution.  Students are allotted 400 print counts per semester; each black-and-white page is one count and each color page is five counts.  Additional print counts may be purchased in the library for $0.10 each.  All library computers use PaperCut software.  Each time a student prints, they are alerted of their print count and must confirm the print job. 

The library has three black and-white printers, two high-quality color printers, and two multifunction color printers.  All computers in the library can print to at least one black-and-white and one color printer.

Photocopying

The library has two multifunction printers that are capable of photocopying.  One is located on the first floor near the reference desk, and one is located on the second floor outside of the computer lab (210).  Copies are $0.10 per page and require a Stritch ID card.  Students can add money for copies to their Stritch ID at the circulation desk.

Scanning

The library has two multifunction printers that are capable of scanning to email. One is located on the first floor near the reference desk, and one is located on the second floor outside of the computer lab (210).  The library also has two small scanners that are directly connected to computers.  One is located on the north wall of the first floor, and one is on the north wall of the second floor.  There is no charge for scanning.

Microfiche reading/scanning

There is one microfiche/microfilm reader in the library, which is located on the first floor.  Microform documents can be scanned and saved digitally and printed from this workstation.
