Color Printing

Subject: Color Printing

Everyone,

Pay-for-Print color printing is now available to library customers, via a color printer located in the LTL.

Each public computer in the library will now have a printer called "Library Pharos Printer B&W" which will be the default, and will print B&W copies for 7 cents/page as always. Now, there will also be a printer choice called "CCL Color Pharos Printer," which will print color copies at 60 cents/page.

As always, library staff can print small color jobs for free with the LTL staff printers. Larger jobs should be submitted to Document Services.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Ray

Paper for Printers & Copiers

In an effort to reduce the number of calls we need to make for paper, we've asked Document Services to deliver 8 boxes when we are close to running out (4 for Research Services Desk and 4 for Circulation Desk). If you run out of paper at the Research Services Desk, feel free to get some from the Circulation Desk. Folks at the Circulation Desk will make the call to 3-5000 for additional paper.

Different monitor

As you can plainly see, we have a different monitor for the time being here at the Research Help desk. The one that was here (one of the new ones) gave up the ghost while I was in the middle of trying to answer a reference question (on the telephone). Ophelia said this is not a really good monitor either and she is going to try to replace it very soon.
