Tarlton Tech Desk

UTprint printer locations:

UTprint printers are located in the following spaces in the law school:

• 2nd floor main lobby of the Library, next to the Circulation Desk; and
• 3rd floor student computer lab in the Library, next to the Tarlton Tech Desk.

Printing from a laptop: 

Students can send print jobs to the UTprint machines by uploading them to My Print Center.  We recommend using BevoPay to fund printing on the UTprint system.  

Printing from 3rd floor student computer lab:

Students can also use the computers in the computer lab next to the Tarlton Tech Desk (JON 3.220) and in the computer classroom (JON 3.222/3.223) to upload print jobs to My Print Center. Printouts may be picked up from any UTprint printer on campus. We recommend using BevoPay to fund printing on the UTprint system.  

Size/Cost/Color:

All printers print to 8 ½″ x 11″ paper only. The charge for black and white printing is $0.10 per page; double-sided/duplex printing (printing a single sheet on both sides) costs $.08 per side for black and white printing. The charge for color printing is $0.40 per single-sided page and $0.80 for double-sided pages. When you upload your document to My Print Center, choose whether you want to print in black-and-white or color.

(There are a limited number of computers on the Library's 2nd floor for public use. Printing directly from these public terminals goes to the small black printer next to the computers.  They do not print directly to the UTprint machines. If you wish to print to the UTprint printers from these public terminals, you can still upload the documents to My Print Center.)  

Before you print

• Funds added to UT Libraries print accounts and BevoPay can be used to print on the UTprint system.  We recommend using BevoPay to fund printing on the UTprint system because money placed in BevoPay is easily refundable if not used.  

First time printing

• Register on any of the UTprint printers by tapping your UT ID card on the printer's card reader (the black credit card-sized box). Enter your UT EID and password (you only need to do this once), then press "Enter." Once registered, tap your UT ID card on the printer's card reader to view your print jobs.

Printing

• Upload your print job to My Print Center. When uploading, you can choose options like whether you want to print in black-and-white or color.
• Go to any UTprint printer in the Law School or across campus, tap your UT ID card on the printer's card reader, and select your print job.
• Forgot your UT ID card? Enter your UT EID and password on the touch screen to retrieve your print job.
• Need to use your own stationery? Ask for assistance at the Tarlton Tech Desk.
• Request assistance at the Tarlton Tech Desk if you feel your print job is of unacceptable condition. 

 Missing a print job? Here are some tips for finding it:

• Check your BevoPay account: it will tell you if your print job went through and if your account was actually charged. You will only be charged for the print jobs you release.
• Pending print jobs remain in the the system for 48 hours before being deleted.
• Contact the Tarlton Tech Desk on the 3rd floor for additional assistance. 
• You can find information about UTprint refunds here.

The Library has four standalone scanners available: (1) two 2nd floor KIC book scanners, (2) a 3rd floor KIC book scanner, and (3) a 3rd floor flatbed scanner with document feeder. 

• Two KIC Scanners are located near the charging locker on the 2nd floor, and the other KIC Scanner is located in the computer lab area on the 3rd floor.  The KIC scanners provide for the scanning of bound documents in either color or black and white. They also offer a variety of output formats, including PDF, searchable PDF, JPEG, PNG, Rich Text/DOC, or audio. You can save your scans to a USB key, send the scans to an e-mail address, upload them to cloud storage, save them to an app called MyDocs (KSS), or even save them to a tablet or smart phone using a QR code.
• The KIC scanners also include an electronic user guide outlining how to scan and save images and how to navigate its settings and menus. There is no charge for use of the KIC scanners.
• The flatbed scanner is located in a separate carrel in the computer carrels near the Tarlton Tech Desk on the 3rd floor. Instructions are available for saving a scan as a PDF or Word document, which can then be emailed. The use of the flatbed scanner requires computer log-in and is limited to UT Law students.

UTprint printers can also be used to scan documents. Place the documents in the document feeder, log in to the UTprint printer using your UT ID card, choose the scan function, and enter the email address you would like the scanned documents sent to. Scanning with the UTprint printers is free. The use of the UTprint printers for scanning requires computer log-in and is limited to UT Law students.

Copying is available for UT Law students at any UTprint machine in the library. The cost is $0.10 per page.
