Copying and Printing

Photocopiers

A Multifunction Device (MFD) is available to make black-and-white or color copies. It does not accept cash. KU patrons must log on with a KU Online ID and have sufficient funds on their KU cards to make copies on the MFD. Non-KU patrons can purchase a Visitor Print/Copy Access Pass at the service desk which can be used for copying on the MFD. Letter and legal-size black-and white copies cost $.08, color copies are $.48. Ledger-size copies cost double the amount. Value can be added to the KU card online or at cash-to-card machines located in Watson Library and the Kansas Union. More information about copying can be found on the Scanning, Printing & Copying page.

One black and white photocopier is still available, which accepts cash (dollar bills, nickels, dimes and quarters) or the KU Card. Letter and legal size copies cost $.08 with a KU online ID or $.10 with cash. Ledger size copies cost $.16 with the KU card, or $.20 with cash. Change to a maximum of $20 is available at the circulation desk.
