The UWA Library copying and printing system
UWA staff and students can use their Campus Card to activate the Library copiers, and printers.
Members of the public can purchase a transaction card from one of the autoloaders located in the subject libraries. You will need $3.00 (exact change) to buy a card, the autoloaders do not give change.
The cost of copying and printing is deducted from credit you have added to your Campus or transaction card via an autoloader.
Adding value to your card
To add credit to your card please follow the instructions on each autoloader. Autoloaders do not have the ability to give change so don't put a twenty dollar note in the machine if you only want a dollar's worth of credit added.
Using your card
After you have added credit to your card, you are ready to use the copiers and printers. All the Library copiers and printers are fitted with a card reader unit on the right hand side. When you insert your card into into the reader unit it will display the value on the card. This will reduce as you copy or print.

All Library copiers have the ability to copy in both mono and colour, and can scan to a USB device. The copiers can scan in full colour as a PDF, JPEG or TIFF. They also have an option to scan in Slim PDF, which is a highly compressed PDF format - great for storing scans onto USB devices! If you don't own a USB device you can purchase a new compatible device from the vending machine in the Reid coffee shop.
Other services, including temporary binding, laminating, and scanning to CD, are available from the Copying Services Office.

The Green Library
The Library uses recycled paper in all copiers and printers. The paper is manufactured from 100% post-consumer waste (collected from office waste). In addition to this we provide a free scanning service on all Library copiers.
All copiers can be set to copy on both sides and the 2 pages into 1 option is linked directly from the copier display. We also recycle all copier and printer toner cartridges and provide paper recycling bins across all Libraries.
