Printing Options
The DMC printing room has black & white and color printing capabilities in sizes 8.5×11 and 11×17. Cost is deducted from the $120 yearly print allowance.Always check to make sure you are printing to the correct paper size before you click print.
Depending on your designations--BW and letter, for example, swipe your NU ID on the card readers next to the two small printers on your left (as you face the printers in the print room). If you want tabloid or 11 x 17, you need to swipe the card reader next to the behemoth in the middle part of the counter; that's the one with the 11 x 17 paper loaded in it. One of the trays also includes letter-size for color printing.
