Printing in Leavey:
USC Libraries provides printing options from all library research terminals, Leavey Library Information Commons and Multi-Media Lab computers. The new print system is designed to increase the flexibility available to USC Libraries' users in choosing where their output is picked up.
Print output is available in 8.5 x 11 only. The print system's default color job type is mixed. It assesses each job's color pages and black & white pages and charges accordingly (e.g. if you print out a report with a single color image on one page, you will be charged for 1 color page, while all the other pages will be charged at the black and white rate)
Printouts can only be paid for by USCard (discretionary account or payroll deduction).
Pricing for Printing
- Black & White: 12c
- Double-sided Black & White: 16c (per sheet)
- Color: 50c
- Double-sided Color: 70c (per sheet)
Jobs with both color and black & white pages will be charged for each page type separately.
To facilitate research, each library is also equipped with a color photocopier, and several libraries have additional copiers specifically designed for book copying as well. For more information, please see www.usc.edu/libraries/printing/
