Printing and Copying at Himmelfarb

Black and white printing is available on the first and third floors of the Himmelfarb Library. The computers on each floor will only print to the laser printers on that floor.

Photocopying is available at the self-service copiers located on the first floor by the entrance to the library.

A GWorld card is required for both printing and copying. The charge is $0.07 per printed side.

Basic instructions are below. Other hints and tips for printing and copying are available via the Himmelfarb Blog.

Adding money to your card

There are three ways to add money to your GWorld card to pay for printing and copying:

1. With cash, using a Value Transfer Station (VTS). There is a VTS machine in Himmelfarb on the wall between the copy area and the stairwell. There are also VTS machines in the Gelman Library, the Marvin Center, and the Jacob Burns Law Library.
2. Online with a Mastercard or Visa at http://gworld.gwu.edu.
3. 3. In person with cash, check, or credit card at the GWorld office. The GWorld office is located in the Marvin Center (800 21st Street, NW) in Room 501. Hours are Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 6pm, Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am - 2pm.

Printing

1. Check "Print Preview" before printing to ensure your document is correct.
2. Use the File pull-down menu and select print.
3. Enter a username and password of your choice when prompted. This login is not tied to any other system and is used just once for printing.
4. Go to the print release station and swipe your GWorld card.
5. Select the job(s) you want to print from the queue, and click on the Print button. When prompted, enter the password you typed in earlier.
6. Click on the X to log off the release station when you have finished printing.

Copying

1. Insert your GWorld card into the swiper in the black box located next to the photocopier and leave the card in the box while you copy. Your card will be charged as you copy each page.
2. Use the digital display on the copiers to set the advanced features. Most of the copiers offer double-sided copying, document feeders and sorters, reduction and enlargement. Two have document edges to copy volumes with tight binding.
3. Don't forget to take your GWorld card when you are done copying!

GWorld cards can also be used for departmental copying. Contact your department administrator/contact for more information.
