How do I print multiple PowerPoint slides to one page?
Go to File and then select Print. When the printing software dialog box

handouts. The default setting is 6 slides per page.
How do I print multiple Adobe Acrobat pages to one page?
Go to File and then select Print. When the printing software dialog box
appears change the setting in the lower left corner that says Page Scaling to Multiple
Pages per Sheet.
Having trouble printing an Adobe Acrobat document?
When printing an Adobe Acrobat document embedded within a web page click on the print button
in the top left corner of the document. Don't use the print command under the File menu.
If this does not help and the document still
will not print, you could try changing browsers (changing from Internet Explorer to Firefox or the reverse).
If still you have no luck printing, click on the download button next to the print button and save
the document to the desktop. Double click on your file. It should open in Acrobat and
hopefully will print. If it does not, you could try to copy (Edit Menu, Copy File to Clipboard
or Select All)
and paste it to Word or WordPad. Some PDF documents can be copied but not all.
The print card reader is jammed or not functioning?
Try blowing into the empty slot on the card reader. Dust can sometimes cause the reader
to malfunction. If a card is stuck, unplug the grey cable at the back of the reader, wait a few
seconds and then plug it back in.
This will reboot it and usually the card will pop out.
Is there color printing in PCL?
A color printer is located in the lobby of PCL, the cost is $0.80 per page. When sending
a print job from one of our workstations choose 'Color Printer' in the drop down menu.
Color printers are also available in the Student Microcomputer
Facility in the Flawn Academic Center and the Architecture and Planning Library.
Are workstations available for people with disabilities?
The entry level of PCL has two workstations available for people with disabilities.
The station located just inside of the Reference Room (PCL 2.200) is equipped with an adjustable table,
a scanner, CCTV, Jaws, Kurzweil 1000 and 3000, and Zoom Text.
An additional station (#37) in the Reference Room (PCL 2.200) has a wheelchair accessible table and
Microsoft Windows magnification, narration and on
screen keyboard features (from the Start Menu go to Programs then Accessories
then Accessibility to access these features).
Are there scanners in PCL?
Epson GT-15000 scanners are attached to Workstations 44, 49, 50 and 51, which are located
on the entry level of PCL. Also, the Multimedia Computer Facility in the Flawn
Academic Center (FAC), 471-6585, has scanners available on the third floor. Scanners are
also available in the Fine Arts, Architecture and Planning, Life Science and
Engineering libraries.
Having problems displaying netLibrary books?
Please review this page for
information on using netLibrary E-books.
How do I configure my laptop for use with the PCL wireless network?
Click here for instructions
for connecting to the wireless network or visit the ITS Help Desk
in the lobby of the Flawn Academic Center.
Can I send print jobs to the PCL printers from my laptop?
Go to our
computing facilities page and scroll down to 'Wireless Laptop Printing'
to download the software for
printing from laptops. Only B&W print jobs can be sent from laptops. Once a print job is
sent it can be retrieved from any of the University Libraries' public printers and
remains in the printer queue for two hours.
Is it possible to recover my document if I am accidently
logged off from a computer?
When working on PCL workstations we recommend saving documents to your own
recordable media and saving often to prevent loss of work. If you do save to the desktop
and are logged out, your file should be there, when you log back on to that computer.
If another person is logged on
to the computer where you had been working, you may be
able to recover your file and have it emailed to you,
by going to the
file recovery site.
You will need to know the workstation number and your file name.
