Paying for Printing at the Swain Library: A Brief Guide for the Perplexed

Filed under: Announcements, What's New at Swain — admin @ 9:53 am

Print jobs are billed in one of three ways (see below). It costs 10 cents per page to print and 13 cents per page to photocopy.

  1. For everyone, but primarily for individuals not affiliated with Stanford

    You need to purchase a copy card. The card itself costs $1. Additional funds must be deposited onto the card to be available for printing. Select the printer called “ChemLib-KioskPrinter.” This printer is located on the right side when you enter the Swain Library.

    Please note that Swain’s cash-to-card dispenser machine does not accept any “new” bills (Green and Engineering Libraries dispenser machines will accept new bills). Please bring crisp $1 bills to add money to a dispenser card as Swain does not have any cash on hand to make change.
