You pay for printing and copying with an account linked to your IT Services network account. You can add credit to your account online via the IT eStore.
Scanning documents is free of charge.
The IT Services online guides give more information about how to use the Print Stations.
You must follow copyright and data protection legislation. Birmingham Newman holds several copyright licences, and these websites give information about licences and legislation:
We have put together some copyright information for students and for those making copies for personal use. If you are a member of staff making copies of resources for use in your teaching, please consult our more specialised copyright pages.
The multifunction devices for printing, photocopying and scanning are looked after by IT Services; but during staffed hours we may be able to help you with the most common functions of the devices.
We can replenish the paper trays if required, and can also provide you with coloured paper if you require this as an accessibility aid.
Please ask at the Service Desk on level 1 for any of these services.
If Library staff are unable to help you, then please email itservicedesk@newman.ac.uk . You can also contact IT services on the phone at 0121 483 2293
You must use the online e-store to top up your printer credits. Please note that print credits may take up to 30 minutes to be applied to your account during staffed hours. If they have not been credited to your account in this time, please contact the IT service desk. The approval process for print credits is not live over the weekend and unstaffed hours. We strongly recommend you plan ahead if you need to print during unstaffed hours.
Printer credits are managed by IT services. Library staff will not be able to help you with enquiries related to printer credits, including topping up for you of giving any refunds for credits, even if bought in error. You will need to speak to IT services in all instances.
Scanning is free of charge as it requires no ink or paper. Scans are saved directly to your user area on the University network. The larger a scanned file is, the longer it may take to appear, so bear this in mind when scanning items in high resolution or colour.
