  You are responsible for setting up your print correctly.
  VizLab employees are NOT trained to set up prints.

  VizLab only accepts TigerCash.
  You must use your LSU ID or a TigerCash card to pay.

Summary

1. When you are ready to print, choose a program to print from. Sometimes, you may need to use another program than the one your are editing on. The program may differ depending on file type or customization needs. For example, you cannot print a png file from Illustrator.
2. Once you choose which program to print from, click File then Print. Press print when you are done setting up your print.
3. Proceed to the front desk, in Design 216. Tell the desk worker your LSU ID, and the paper size, type and count.
4. The desk worker will charge you, then release your print(s).
5. You may have to wait for other prints to finish before yours starts.

Paying for and receiving your print

After you click Print, your print is sent to the front desk.
You will need to give the front desk the TigerCard you are using to pay along with the following information:

• The LSU ID that is logged into the computer that you printed from (eg. jsmith1).
• The size, paper type and page count of your print. You will have to give this information for all paper types and sizes.

The desk worker will send your print to the printer you chose.

  NOTE: A print can be sent to another printer of the same type by the desk worker, effectively changing the paper type.

  NOTE: A print sent to a black and white printer will not regain color if changed to another printer by the desk worker.
