Computer Printing Tips

• If possible, choose double-sided printing. It will cut your printing costs in half.
• Check to be sure your print job is going to the correct printer. Black and white should be the default, but sometimes the computer tries to send it to the colour printer.
• If you need help, ask at the IT Help Desk, or, for basic help at the Reserve Counter or the Research Help Desk.
• If the printer takes your money, but doesn’t print, e-mail Joel.Schwartz@twu.ca
