Procedure for Printing

Send the PDF file by email as an attachment to jwlmultimedia@andrews.edu; indicate in your message the type of paper you would like to have it printed, the size of the poster, and the payment method. If you’re printing for your department, we need an authorized email and the IDC number from the department.

Printing

Printing is on a first-come, first-served. Most printing jobs are completed within 24 hours, depending on traffic. The ink is dry to the touch as it comes out of the printer, but the paper still has solvents in it. We recommend allowing the print to dry for a few minutes before rolling the image. Poly paper, in particular, needs extra time to dry. When your printing is completed, we will contact you either by email or a phone call.

Scanning

There are two book scanning stations: one at the upper level and the other at the lower level by the periodicals. The scanners can scan images up to 12” by 17.” Use the settings: PDF; color; photo quality, and save the scanned image to your USB drive or any email account. You may also scan at the main floor printer or the one at the upper level. The scan stations at the upper and lower levels can send to ANY email address. But the printer/scanners can only send to an Andrews University email address with a limited content of 17 pages of text and 5 pages of photos. You may save your scans in a USB drive. There are no charges for scanning.
