Printing and Copy Machines | University of Houston Downtown Library

Printing from Computers

The library computer lab has printers for one-sided black-and-white copies. Printing is limited to UHD students, faculty, and staff; to former UHD students with a valid UHD alumni card; and to visitors who present a valid ID from North Harris Montgomery Community College or any campus of the University of Houston System. The charge for printing is 5 cents per page. Students receive a credit of $25.00 at the beginning of each semester. Students can add funds to their account at the Cashier’s Office (310-South) or by using the cash machine located in the Academic Computing Lab (800-South).

Copy Machines

Photocopiers for single-sided black and white copies of books and periodicals are available on both sides of the library. Copiers take change, dollar bills, and copy cards. The cost is 10 cents per page. A vending machine at the Circulation Desk makes change from $1 or $5 bills. During scheduled business hours, change is also available from the Cashier's Office in Room 310-South.

Copy machines for microfilm or microfiche are located in the North Tower. There is no charge for microform copies.
