Printing at Millersville University

• Each student at Millersville University is given an allocation of printouts (at no cost to the student) for each Fall and Spring Semesters in designated lab printers on campus. 
• For calendar purposes:
  • Fall Semester will be defined as July 1 – December 31
  • Spring Semester will be defined as January 1 – June 30
• Check your MU Print Allotment at any GoPrint station. 

Printing beyond the Semester allocation will be at the cost of the student via Marauder Gold.  Once you have exceeded your semester allocation you will need to use money in your Marauder Gold account in order to print.

Tips and Tricks to Decrease Printing

• Think before you print - can I utilize this content electronically?
  • Talk with your Faculty and identify when you can utilize electronic media in class or with classroom work.
• Always print double-sided
• View print job prior to printing
• Select only the pages you need to print out
• Need multiple copies of the same document or need to print documents over 50 pages?  Visit the Copy Shop in the basement of the SMC. They have equipment designed to handle large quantities better and more efficiently than the lab printers.
• Be patient when you release a print job as there may be other print jobs in the queue ahead of you; there may be a short delay before your job is printed. If you become impatient and send the same page(s) to the printer a second time you will get two copies of the page(s) and, consequently, be charged again for all pages that were printed.
• Check document properties prior to printing.  Our labs use 8 1/2 X 11 paper.  Any documents configured for a different size paper (A4, tabloid, or other non-standard size) may have problems printing and cause the print job to error and cease printing until the job is deleted.  Contact the Help Desk at (717-871-7777 or x7777) for assistance.
• ALWAYS log off any campus computer as soon as you have completed your work.
• When doing research, save material by emailing it to yourself or saving directly to a flash drive
• Download books to your personal device
• Before printing study guides, class notes or a syllabus - change margins and font sizes to decrease the number of pages to be printed
