Computer Access at the Libraries
Print, Scan, & Copy Services at the Libraries
All open libraries offer print, scan, and copy services. Printing cost is 11 cents per page for black & white; 32 cents per page for color.
If you send your job to the printer from home using the Pharos Print app or if you email your print job as an attachment to print@wayne.edu from your WSU email address, you can release your print job from our library printers. (You must use your WSU email address)
You will need to have money on your OneCard to print at the libraries. You can put money on your OneCard at a OneCard machine or online through Academica.
Get more information on Printing, Scanning and Copying at WSU, including using the Pharos Print app or print@wayne.edu service.
