How to Print from Microforms

1. Insert coins or swipe OSU ID or convenience card*.

2. 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.

3. Press the green "Print" button.

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

5. 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.

*Students, faculty, and staff may establish an account on their OSU ID by adding money through 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).  Your card can then be used for all copying at the library, Java 2, and campus food courts. This account is separate from your food account.  Convenience cards are also available to those without an OSU ID. These may be purchased for $1.00 at several places:

• The Circulation desk on the second floor
• From the convenience machines
• At the ID center in Kerr

Money may then be added at the library convenience machines.
