Print, Copy, & Scan
Student Printing Allowance
Each student receives 1,500 pages of free printing per academic year (a $75 value). This credit is added to your printing account at the start of the fall semester and can be used in the computer lab and on the second-floor printers/copiers/scanners.
Printing
For instructions on how to print or add funds, please see our PaperCut page. Unreleased print jobs are automatically deleted after 4 hours at no charge.
Lexis Printers
Students may print research materials from Lexis at no cost using Lexis printers in the computer lab. This is a good way to conserve your annual printing allowance.
When printing from Lexis, select “LIBRARY 2ND FLOOR” or “LIBRARY 3RD FLOOR.”
Copying
Multi-function machines (copy, print, scan) are available on the library’s second floor.- SMU Faculty, Staff, and Students: Access machines by swiping your SMU ID or entering your ID number and password.
- Guests: Create an online account to pay for services. View instructions for creating your account, adding funds, and using the machines.
Scanning
All library copiers/printers on the second and third floors include scanning features, with document feeders for efficient multi-page scanning.
- Scans are delivered by email
- Limit: 60 pages per scan (due to email size limits)
- No charge, but an account is required
The library also offers a KIC Bookeye 4 overhead scanner on the third floor (printer room), available at no cost.
