How can I turn on/off double-sided printing?

Duplexing (also referred to as double-sided printing) is printing on both the front and back sides of a single sheet of paper. Generally all OIT labs and classrooms printers are set up to duplex by default. In the event that you need to turn on/off duplex printing, follow the instructions below.

Instructional Computing Classrooms

Computer labs on campus are managed by various departments. The Instructional Computing Classrooms (ICC) managed by Classroom Audio Visual Services are available for use by all departments and external clients. Unlike general access labs found in the library or the Broadway Housing Building, these spaces are designed for computer-based instruction and host regularly scheduled credit classes.

What is the print quota?

Printing in the Portland State University general access computing labs is regulated by print quotas. Each user is allocated 500 pages per term that do not carry over to the next term. Users that do not exceed their quota will not incur any charges. Users that print more than 500 pages per term will be assesed a per-page fee.

What happens if I print more than 500 pages per term?

If you exceed the 500 page print quota in a single term, you will automatically be charged for additional pages at a rate of $0.025 per page. This will be billed to your student account.

How can I find out how many pages I have printed this term?

The ability to check your lab print quota, as well as your ODIN (UNIX) quota and a breakdown of your mail quota by folder, is built into Webmail. To check your quota, follow the steps below.

Can I record audio in the IDSC?

While we do have a fully functional audio workstation, our facilities are not set up as a recording studio. Due to the effect ambient noise levels have on recording, as well as the possibility of disturbing other lab users, recording audio in the IDSC is not advised. However, our PC Audio workstation is perfect for digitizing Cassette Tapes, DAT tapes, and Vinyl records or any portable sound device (Minidisc, tape recorder, etc.) with an audio output.
