Copying, printing, and confusion...

There seems to be much confusion about the new staggered copying pricing and codes and signage... so here are a few reminders and some things I didn't know:

-the copiers now do double-sided copying (they didn't before) -- it's referred to as "sidedness" on the signage
-the copiers on 3rd and 4th (only) now do color copying (they didn't before) and it's 25 cents (for everyone)
-the only time a card is now needed is for printing for those who don't have or want to use a CruzID gold account (still need a $1 bill)
-all copying requires logging in to the machines; students use CruzID Gold, all others put cash into the copier kiosk and obtain a login
-the PIN that the signage refers to is the last 4 digits of a student/staff/faculty university ID #
-CruzID Gold account copying is 8 cents per page
-non-CruzID Gold copying (aka guest) is 15 cents per page
-students who don't want to charge their account for whatever reason can use the guest kiosk for copying but they will pay 7 cents more per copy than the student rate of 8 cents

And we do have another flatbed scanner in McHenry on the 2nd floor near the IT/Ref Desk. It's in a computer cubicle near the color printer.
It's not as good for images, but fine for text.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Laura
