Information Services uses recycled paper in all copiers and printers. The paper is manufactured from 100 per cent post-consumer waste (collected from office waste). In addition, we provide a free scanning service on all library copiers.
All copiers can be set to copy on both sides, and the two pages into one option is linked directly from the copier display. We recycle all copier and printer toner cartridges and provide paper recycling bins.
UWA staff and students can use their Campus Card to print and photocopy in any library.
Members of the public can buy a transaction card for $5 from one of the autoloaders located in each library. Note that autoloaders do not give change.
The cost of copying and printing is deducted from credit you have added to your Campus or transaction card through an autoloader.
To add credit to your card, follow the instructions on the autoloader. Remember that autoloaders do not give change so don't put a $20 note in the machine if you want only a dollar's worth of credit added.
After you have added credit to your card you are ready to use the copiers and printers. Each printer and copier has a terminal attached to it. Wave your card over the left-hand side (above the words ‘PRESENT CARD HERE) and you will be logged into the device. Choose the print job you want to release and press print.
NOTE: You will see the price displayed as if you were printing on a colour printer, even though you may be planning on using a black and white printer. If you do use a black and white printer, you’ll only be charged black and white prices.
All copiers copy and print in both mono and colour, and can scan to to email or to your network home directory.

Print to the “global” printer, and your print files are held in a secure queue, which you can select to print from any student printer at your own convenience, up until 12 hours later.
The printing system works the same way across campus in all labs and Libraries. There are 92 locations and 108 printers available through the same queue.
