Where Can I Get Change on Campus?

 

Since August, there has been a change machine in the vending area across from the campus cafeteria.  A  $1 deposit will give you change in quarters. A $5 will give change in one dollar coins. 

To get a $1 bill to purchase a print card you'll need a work-around. You'll need to purchase a snack from the new digital vending machines. When a customer buys an item with a $20, $10 or $5 bill, the cost of the item is deducted and change is dispensed in dollar bills.  

Bottom line:  Students who have larger bills and want to print, buy a print card, or use the copy machine can now walk over to the vending area, buy something, and come back to the library to finish their task.  Night and weekend library users will be particularly appreciative.

How Do I Print a Publisher Document With Multiple Pages?

Before I give you the link to the directions from Microsoft Publisher's Help tool, let me make a suggestion. If you are a college student trying to print from a public printer in the library or a lab, you may not be successful. They are not commercial printers that allow students to make individual print settings. If printing is not part of your assignment, take your Publisher document, saved on a flashdrive, to your campus print shop and have them print it for you.

Our Printing Department's number here at Chattanooga State is 423-697-4460. It is located in the Omniplex Building, Room 161.

If you are printing from a home printer, try these directions- Set Up a Booklet in Publisher.

"The booklet printing feature in Publisher arranges the pages so that, when you combine and fold the printed sheets, the pages are in the correct sequence."-Publisher

Search "Set up a booklet in Publisher" in Help for more useful tips on printing Publisher documents.

How Do I Print an InDesign/Illustrator Project When the Library's Print System Doesn't Print from the Mac Computers?

We went to Jeff Morris(Associate Professor, Graphic Design) for our work around and here is his suggestion...

While you are on the Mac, rather than Print, use Export as an Adobe PDF to a flashdrive. Then move to a PC compter to use your flashdrive and print the saved Adobe PDF with Acrobat or Acrobat reader to open it.

If you're in Illustrator, you can use Save As in Illustrator to your flashdrive. That way there is no application issue or font issues, providing there are none in the original document of course. And, PDF is cross platform, so you can create it on the Mac and print it from a PC (eg: as in the Print Shop) or vice versa.

I Am An Art Student, Where Can I Get A Good Quaility Print Of My Art Project On Campus?

Visit the campus print shop in the Omniplex building, Room 161. Students can print color copies from their, CD, DVD, Flash Drive or Memory Card. 423-697-4460. Campus Map

8 1/2 X 11 -59 cents
11 X 17 - $1.25
Larger Sizes - $1.50

1. The print shop has a Dell Computer that is set aside just for student use. Students can use it to log into their email, Elearn, any webpage, or Tiger Web. The Tiger Web login page is the home page when Internet Explorer is opened.
2. Students have the choice of printing to the small desktop lazar printer from any source but it only prints 8 1/2 x 11 on standard paper in black. That is self-serve and the charge is 5¢ a copy.
3. Students can have the print shop worker send their print job to the larger machines which can print color or black onto thick or thin paper up to 13 x 19. When the print shop worker must assist the student, it becomes a higher charge such as 10¢ a copy and 49¢ for color copies.
4. The charge goes up according to the size of paper. It also comes down according to the quantity.
5. Many students, such as the Graphic Arts students must save their work as a PDF onto a flash drive and let the print shop worker print it for them according to their specs. The print shop does not have Creative Suites on their computer nor do they have Macs. The students must convert the file to a PDF before it can be read on their computer.
6. Many students are learning to just go to the computer, pull up the material they need to print, print it on the small desktop, and stop by and pay us on the way out.

How Can I Get This Email to Print from a Library Networked Computer?

Many emails from public services like Yahoo, Google, AOL and others are design so that the "print" button you see in their email window works best with personal computers. They do not always work well with a networked printing system like the one we have in the library. Sometimes, clicking the Yahoo print button in the Yahoo email service has automatically shut down a library computer.

Here are three things to try:

1. Copy and paste the text of your email into a Word document, then send it to print.
2. If your email system has a "Download" email button, click it and save the email to the library computer, then send to print. After printing, delete both the document from the public computer and empty the trash.
3. If the email document downloaded still doesn't print, rename it to remove any odd symbols (%#-_) from the document name and try printing again.

How Do I Print, Do I Have to Pay?

Printing in the library can be paid with a purchased print card at six cents per page or by cash at ten cents per page. You can purchase a print card with a one-dollar bill. Fifty cents of that one dollar will be placed on the card’s initial balance. Find the green “Print” sign in the library to locate the printer stations and card vending.

Printing is available from any public computer in the library (sorry no printing from laptops or other private devices). At the print box, choose your options and then print. But you’re not ready to pay for a print-out yet!

A pop-up box from the printer station should pop-up on the screen for the next step. If the pop-up box doesn’t show up, please ask for help at the help desk or reference desk. In this pop-up box, the username is your first initial and last name. John Smith would be jsmith. The password is the last four numbers of your phone number. Submit and go to the printer station.

If you are using a print card, swipe the card in the card reader; type in your username (first initial and last name); select what you want to print by clicking on a listed print request; type in your password, click on print button. Retrieve your print out at one of the printers within the printer station area.

If you are using cash, deposit enough coins into the coin box; type in your username (first initial and last name); select what you want to print by clicking on a listed print request; type in your password, click on print button. Retrieve your print out at one of the printers within the printer station area. The coin box will also accept one dollar bills.

How Do I Print My Homework from Centro, the Website Where I Do My Spanish Homework Online?

Centro places your homework form in a separate frame. Notice how you can scroll up and down the window to see the homework form while the table of contents and the header stay in one spot. Frames are like separate windows. They let you look at a lot of content through a individual pane.

To print something inside a frame, place your cursor in a white space within the frame and do a right click with the mouse. This brings up a sub menu. Select print. This will bring up the print options box. If you want to add more copies or print certain pages this is the place to make the changes. Click OK.

If you are in the library...the print management box appears next. This is where you type in your username and password. Follow the directions posted at the top of the library computer's monitor for more instructions. If you need more help, ask a librarian or student worker to walk you through it.

Printing Tips

Printing Tips

My print job is not showing up at the print release swipe station. What do I do?

1. Name and save the item to the computer's desktop, then print. This will bypass the travel of the item from the online server to the print management system. The item will then only need to travel from the computer to the print management system-less network travel.

2. Make sure that you select the "print friendly" format when you are printing from a website before you send it to print.

3. Make sure that any WORD/POWERPOINT/EXCEL documents are not trying to come from eLearn. Most of the time they can print just fine. However, when eLearn is heavily used, sometimes these documents are slow to print. Again, this is due to slow network travel.

4. PDF'S saved in a high resolution may take a long time (5 minutes a page). Use the print option box to change the print quality to a lower dpi and resend.

5. Don't try to print by highlighting text on a website. This does not work with the print technology we have. Copy and past the text into a Word document. Then print.

This Document in My eLearn Course Content Won't Print. When Saved to the Desktop It Has the File Extension .PRN. What is a PRN file?

A PRN file is a special type of file that contains instructions for a printer. It tells the printer what to print on the page, what printer to use and other controls. We recently had a nursing student trying to print a document from eLearn with this extension. If your document has this extension and does not want to print on the library print management system, ask to print from a computer that has Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9 on it. This software will print the .PRN file extension files. The computers in the library with Adobe Acrobat include the ADA computers, the classroom computers and the two multimedia computers in the conference/multimedia studio room.

Note: These files will look funny when you try to open them in Word and don't allow you to use Word to print. They can't be copied and pasted in notepad or opened to print either.

The Comments On My Reviewed Paper Don't Show When I Print It.

You want to print your reviewed paper, a paper your instructor has graded inside your Word 2007 document. However, when you print the paper the comments print in black or gray boxes. The fault lies in the default print settings relating to the document/pdf.

To print the paper with comments showing, change the printer settings to print the document as an image or if you have the option select "Document showing Markup" in the text box labeled Print what:.

How Do I Print This Article on This Web Page? I Print and I Get the WebSite.

There are different ways to print material from a web page. Most websites now provide a link to a "Print Friendly" version or a PDF copy of the article you may find in frames on the website. First, look for a "Print Friendly" link or an icon that looks like a tiny square with the letters, PDF. Clicking on these links should open a new window with a printable version of your article.

To send it to the printer in the library, use the browser's File>Print buttons. A print preview window with the article displayed in a small box should open for you. Look over the print box options and choose any you need. Example: Change number of copies you'd like to print or change printers if you want to print in color. Click OK. Now another window will open asking you to type in a username and password. Follow the direction on the yellow note attached to the bottom of the monitor from this point.

The printers and release stations are located near the Help Desk in the center of the library. Directions are located in the area if you need assistance. You can also ask a librarian or student worker for extra help.
