At present, the library has obtained a special printer available in the front lobby. You can print in black and white and there is no charge.
NOTES
You can connect to the printer prior to coming to the Library Lobby, but do not send anything to the printer until you are in the Lobby. This ensures no one else is printing, and is especially important if you are printing something sensitive.
Remember that this is the University in the Forest: Be moderate in what you choose to print.
To print directly to the printer, you must be logged in to the drew1x wireless network. See https://uknow.drew.edu/confluence/x/ExvqAQ for more information.
Before and after using the printer, use the dedicated wipes next to the printer to wipe down any surfaces you touch.
Make sure you double check your print settings before sending the print job. (For instance, the paper size must be set to Letter for the job to print.)
