How can I pay for copies and prints?

Use the Repro Graphics card (copy/print/scan card)

Repro Graphics cards must be purchased for the copy/print machines. These cards will be accepted at all library copiers/printers/scanner machines.

Repro Graphics cards may be purchased from the dispensers found in each library. Minimum card purchase is $1.00 for a new card. New cards carry a $.50 fee with the remaining value available to use for copying, printing, or scanning.

Each Repro Graphics card has a unique number, which is used to list print jobs and can be used to retrieve card value if the card is lost (see below).

UC Davis Students

Current students may use their Student IDs (Registration Cards) to pay for printing, copying and scanning.

Usage will be tracked on the student account and billing will occur at the end of each academic quarter. There will be a minimum charge of $5.00 per billing but if actual usage is less than $5.00 the difference will be carried over to the next billing period as a credit. If you are printing/copying/scanning less than 50 impressions a quarter, you may want to purchase a Repro Graphics card.

UC Davis Departments and commercial vendors

To obtain a Repro Graphics card using a departmental recharge account, or purchase a Repro Graphics card for vendors, contact Repro Graphics directly (contact information at end of page).

Adding value to Repro Graphics copy/print/scan cards

Use the card dispensers to add value by inserting $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills.

IET Computer Lab Printing (free printing):

UC Davis students cannot use their free printing quota on the library multifunction machines. Students can only use their quota of 30 free prints per quarter in a campus IET Computer Lab. The Labs in Shields Library are located in rooms 163 and 182. A Kerberos username & ID are required for login, and prints are tracked automatically. See IET: Printing in the Computer Rooms (http://clm.ucdavis.edu/rooms/printing/)

There's a problem with the copy/print/scan or other machines

How am I charged if I use my student ID card?

Active students may now use their student ID card much like a debit card to access prints/copies and scans on public use copiers in the libraries. The student ID card will access the copy machines the same way purchased cards without funding the account to start printing/copying or scanning.
