From CIT Wiki
CIT uses a product called Uniprint® to enable printing in the computer lab. Each lab is equipped with a Print Release Station, a computer with a card swipe. Once a user swipes her/his OCID card, the print jobs are shown and can be released. Funds are then decremented from, first, the user's Free Print Account (300 pages per semester for students (reset each semester with no carryover); as needed for faculty and staff), then, when that has been depleted, from the user's ObieDollar account.
To print in the computer labs on Macintosh and Windows computers:
- Select Print from the File menu in the application you are using. The Print dialog box will appear. Make sure the appropriate print queue is selected (for the printer you wish to print from). All the lab computers are configured to print to the printer in that particular lab. (If you find this to not be the case, please send a message to cit@oberlin.edu).
- When printing from the Mudd 052 and Mudd A-level Macintosh computers, you may choose the "Mudd 052 Color PHAROS" printer if you desire to print in color. CIT will not reimburse users for documents unintentionally printed to the color printer. Color printing is not yet available from the Windows computers in those locations.
- Click the Print button and the print system Popup window will appear.
- Enter a username or login ID. Remember what you type so you can find your print job later at the Print Release Station. A password is not required, but it does protect your print job from being released by someone else.
- Go to the Print Release Station located near the printer and swipe your OCID or Guest Card to view your print jobs.
- Click on the tab labeled with the first letter of the username you provided. Your printout should appear in the list. Highlight the print job you wish to release, click on the Print button at the bottom of the screen, and retrieve your printout from the lab printer.
- If your print job does not come out of the printer, is smudged, mangled, or otherwise unreadable, please tell a consultant in the Technology Service Center (located in Mudd 112B) immediately.
Note
CIT will not reimburse users for lost/unreadable printouts costing less than $1.00. Instead, Free Print quota levels have been increased to account for such losses.
For reimbursement of jobs costing more than $1.00, email cit@oberlin.edu with the following information:
-your full Oberlin email address (in the form firstname.lastname@oberlin.edu)
-your T#
-what platform you were using at the time (Mac or PC)
-the name of the job (usually the name of the document or website)
-how many pages did not print
-whether the job was duplex (double-sided)
-what print queue you sent it to (the lab in which the printer was located)
