How to Print from Microforms

Insert coins or swipe OSU ID or convenience card. (*see note below*)

Position page inside 8.5" x 11" frame on screen. Zoom in or out to achieve desired size. This frame is approximate; some adjustments may need to be made after the first print is viewed.

Press the green "Print" button.

The print may be made lighter or darker by using the buttons above the green "Print" button.

The "Auto" function should select the appropriate printing for positive and negative films and fiche; however, if the page is printed with a black background and white text, this may be reversed manually by pushing the "Film Type" button until "Negative" has been selected.

Note

Students, faculty, and staff may set up a debit account on their OSU ID by adding money in the Library on convenience machines located in the Photocopy Center and in the entry foyer next to the public telephones, or at the ID center in the basement of Kerr (B094). Convenience cards are also available to those without an OSU ID.

You can purchase these cards for $1.00 at the following places: the Circulation desk on the second floor, the convenience machines, a the ID center in Kerr.
