Photocopying & Printing - BML

Self-serve photocopying and printing are available at the Biomedical Library.

Please note: In Fall 2009, the print/copy card system will be replaced with a new system that uses campus ID cards rather than separate Imprints cards. Non-UCSD users will still be able to copy and print using guest cards. Please read about the changes. More details will be posted as soon as we have exact dates for the transition at the Biomedical Library.

Copycards: Copiers and printers use a debit card from the campus Imprints copying service. The Biomedical Library has two card vending machines. Cards can be purchased using a single dollar bill and refilled with US $1, 5, 10, or 20 denominations. Change is not provided. Individuals wishing to purchase a card with a credit card should go to the Imprints service office in the Geisel Library. Individuals may also obtain cards using a UCSD index (budget) number - contact Imprints for details. Please note: the card regenerators at the Biomedical Library do not accept credit cards or coins.

Photocopying: the library has four public-use photocopiers. Three are located on the 2nd floor to the east of the bound journal collection (see floor plan). One is located on the 1st floor across from the Service Desk. Photocopies are 10c/page.

Printing: the Biomedical Library has three high-speed networked black and white printers and one color laser printer. All the library's computers can send print jobs to these. Black & white is 10c/page impression, color is 50c. In addition, some computers have locally-attached laser printers. All use the same copycards. Please note: the Biomedical Library does not have any ACS printers.

Wireless printing: if you have a Windows laptop with wireless access, you can install software to send print jobs to our networked black & white and color printers. A Mac version of this software is being created and should be available by Spring.
