Printing and Scanning

Black and white printing is available at all ICT Access Labs. Colour printing and scanning facilities are also available at some locations.

Printing facilities

To print from an ICT Access Lab computer you must have money on your UniKey account. When you print your document your job will be placed onto the print queue of the default printer in your lab. You can check the print queue by simply using your Unikey and password. When your job reaches the top of the queue, and if you have enough credit on your account, your job will print.

If you do not have enough money on your Unikey account, your job will not print.

NOTE: ICT Access Labs do not use a swipe card system for printing. Funds deposited on swipe cards are only valid for either photocopying or printing from University Library computers.

Costs:

To print double-sided click on the "File" menu, then select "Print". This will open a dialog box where you can select a printer. First choose the printer you want, and then click on the "Properties" button. Another dialog box will open with multiple tabs along the top. Select the “Finishing” tab and then tick the box for "Print on both sides".

Scanning facilities

Scanning facilities are available at Fisher, Conservatorium of Music, Cumberland and International House. There is no charge for the use of the scanner, however we do require students use this service responsibly in abiding by the various Copyright Laws of printed media. The scanner is a flatbed scanner, sized to scan A4 paper at 600 dpi optical resolution with 32-bit colour. No specialised scanning software are installed and therefore there are no OCR editing capabilities.

For further details, please contact the Labstaff in any of the ICT Access Labs, or by calling the Fisher Access Lab Helpdesk on 9351 5449.
