Printing from a Public Computer in the Library

When you choose print, the print job will be sent to each of the printers in the computer area you are using. Print jobs from library laptops will go to the 1st floor printers.

Look for the name of your computer on the label at the top of the monitor.

The name of your computer will be listed on the GoPrint Station screen when you send a job.

How to Use a GoPrint release station

1. Select your computer's name from the "GO PRINT" touch screen. You may need to press the "NEXT" button if the screen is full and your computer's name does not show up.

2. Select the bar of the job(s) you wish to print. The bar should become HIGHLIGHTED. If you have numerous print jobs, you may need to touch the Page Up or Down key on the lower right of the screen.

3. Touch the "CONTINUE" button at the bottom of the screen. Be careful as the "DISCARD" button is right next to it.

4. Touch the "PRINT" button.

5. Your print job(s) should start processing as soon as the printer is ready.

Note: PDF documents and PowerPoint slides take longer to print. GoPrint stations will only accept print jobs of less than 50 pages.

Color Printing

There are color printers available for MTSU students and employees at the Technology Services Desk on the 1st floor and in the second floor Digital Media Studio. The cost to print is $.50 per page, and the printers are reserved for academic purposes. To print, bring your file(s) to the desk on a portable storage device, such as a usb flash drive. The desk attendant will print your file for you.

Laptop Printing
