UConnect self help guides (to connect your laptop for printing)
The UTAS Library uses recycled paper in all copiers and printers. The paper is manufactured from post-consumer waste (collected from office waste). In addition we provide a free scanning service from the colour Multi-Function Devices.
All copiers can be set to copy on both sides and the two pages into one option is linked directly from the copier display.
We recycle all copier and printer toner cartridges and provide paper recycling bins.
