Printing
Elmhurst has a robust print management system that is designed to streamline and secure printing.
- Print release stations ensure secure printing on campus. Students must log in with their technology accounts at release station computers before their jobs are printed.
- Web print stations allow students to submit documents for printing online, from on or off campus. Jobs submitted to web print stations may be released by students in the Daniels Hall computer labs or in the A.C Buehler Library within 12 hours.
- Please be careful to print only the pages you need. Saving paper and toner contributes to a cleaner environment, which supports the University’s commitment to sustainability.
