Printing and scanning
How we can help
The Libraries offer self-service printing intended for academic jobs of approximately 200 pages or less to those who have an active NetID. For this service, we have standard printer paper available in Letter (8.5”x11”), Legal (8.5”x14”), and Tabloid (11”x17”). Ink colors include Black and White or Color.
Additionally, @One Helpdesk also provides a limited collection of specialty paper options for printing theses, resumes, and other assignments that may require a higher quality paper. The library does not print materials intended to promote non-UNR organizations, or for monetary gain.
