STEP #1

Need Gator1 Card AND $$$ on Vending Account...

• Make sure there are funds in the VENDING account of your Gator1 card.
  
  
• Check your balance and/or add money here: http://www.gator1.ufl.edu 
  
  

• When you add funds to the vending account on your Gator1 card, the online processing can sometimes take five+ minutes. 
  
  
• ProTip: Add your funds first so you can work on and edit your document while your Gator1 request processes.

Black/White = .10 per page  

Please Note: Color printing (.50 per page) is not available in Library West BUT you can release your color print jobs to the printing network and pick up the documents over in the AFA or MSL branch libraries w/your Gator1 Card.

One printer is located on the 1st floor, right outside the double elevators.

STEP #2

Send your print job from a library computer...

• From Browser or Programs, go to “File” and choose “Print,”  just as you would when printing from any computer. 
  
  
• When you choose “Print,” a pop-up box will appear, asking for your UFID number.

• Enter your UFID and click “Print.”

• Your document has now been released to the UF Libraries Printing Network. This means you can now pick up your document from any printer in any UF Libraries branch, including Library West.

Watch how students print in LibWest...

One printer is located on the 2nd floor to the east of the Circulation Desk.

Millions of dollars (and millions of trees) are lost every year due to very wasteful and inconsiderate photocopy and printing habits. Developing more efficient and sustainable habits not only saves money but prepares you to be a better global citizen after graduation.

Compare your printing and copying habits to the UF recommendations provided here: http://ufcn.urel.ufl.edu/ink/students.shtml

There are flatbed scanners located throughout Library West for your convenience!

STEP #3

Pick up your document from the printer…

• Carefully swipe your Gator1 card on the card swipe reader located on the right side of the machine. 
  
  
• You want it to read the small stripe on the back of your card.
  
  
• WAIT for the machine to confirm that it read or did not read your card.  If you swipe more than once without waiting, it will lock your account and you will be unable to print.
  
  
• View your balance and click “OK.”
  
  
• Choose your document from the touch screen.

• Touch the “START” button on the printer.
  
  
•  LOGOFF from the touchscreen when you are done.
