There are five printers for general department use -- one in room 736 SEO, two in room 308, one in room 438 and one in room 200. Please try to conserve paper and toner; do not print multiple copies of the same document, read your email before deciding whether or not to print it, preview documents using xdvi or ghostscript, use duplex-mode whenever possible, etc. Please do not use the printers for personal documents.
Paper is available from the Faculty Services office -- room 322. If the printer needs service other than adding paper, please send email to consult@math.uic.edu.
To print, first decide which printer you wish to use and whether you want your document to appear in simplex mode (single-sided) or duplex mode (double-sided, paper saving default mode.) The available printers are listed below.
