See the ONID Printing Policy and ONID Printing FAQ.
General:
Users are asked to print duplex (2-sided) but it is not required. There is a small price break for duplex printing (see below).
Printing is charged by the page count of the document, NOT sheets of paper used. For example, a two page, single sheet, double-sided print job is charged as two pages.
Printing inappropriate material, as outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy, is strictly prohibited
Mass production of club flyers, newsletters, posters, is strictly prohibited. If multiple copies are desired users need to go to an appropriate copying facility such as: Valley Library printing center or Kinko's.
If the print job is low quality (streaks, ghosting, uneven toner) or the print job comes out garbled, the user may take the following steps to get credited for the print job. Staff members can not issue printing credit:
- Fill out an ONID Printing Credit Request Form within 12 hours of the printout. Forms are available from the Helpdesk staff member on duty.
- Attach the complete print job.
- Turn it into a staff member.
- You will be notified of your request by the 1st of the month.
Black and White Printers:
Transparencies: Overhead transparency sheets may be used in the Forestry ONID black and white printers. The user must, however, provide the packaging to prove that their transparencies are compatible with our printers: HP LaserJet 4300dtn. Contact the Forestry Helpdesk to get your transparencies approved.
Special Paper: Users may provide their own special paper, but it must be approved by the Forestry Helpdesk before printing on it.

Print Jobs that have been waiting in the color queue longer than 30 minutes will be removed from the queue.
Transparencies: Only those approved by the Forestry Helpdesk will be allowed on the color printer (HP Color LaserJet 5550dn).
