Printing
Printer-friendly versionInformatics has printing, copying and scanning services for students and staff.
We use the University's cloud printing service. To find out how to use this read Cloud Printing (IS), and for more information see Printing, Copying and Scanning (IS).
On DICE machines the print queues are called cloud-mono and cloud-colour (note, all lower case) and the default is to print to the mono queue.
For help with scanning read Scan to Email (IS).
Taught students are given some printing credit but extra credit has to be paid for - the student printing page has details.
Other users have free printing - their print credit is topped up automatically.
Please consider the environmental impact of excessive printing!
