Smart Printing

All of the public computer labs on campus offer black and white laser printing. In addition to the public computer labs, there are a number of departments have computer classrooms that may allow you during class to print.

ICC has implemented "Smart Printing" guidelines in order to conserve paper consumption and reduce the costs associated with printing unwanted pages. The goal of "Smart Printing" is to encourage the user to think about what they are printing and only print what is needed.

"Smart Printing" procedures limit each individual print request to:

4 pages in all ICC Libraries
4 pages in any public computer lab
24 pages in all computer classrooms
Cumulative total of 300 free pages from the start of semester

If you exceed the cumulative 300 page total, additional pages can be purchased through Student Services (Accounting) at $.05 per page in increments of 50 pages.

If you need assistance with printing multi-page documents or Powerpoint slides ask a librarian or lab monitor for assistance or contact the Technology Services Help Desk at (309) 694-5457.

How Smart Printing Works

The cost of a print job is deducted from the remaining balance
Purchase additional pages through Student Services (Accounting) department on any campus
Each semester printing accounts are reset. This means as you approach the end of a semester do NOT purchase more pages than you will need that semester; balances will NOT roll-over to the next semester

ICC Student:

Starts the semester with a credit or balance of $15.00 or 300 pages at no cost to the student
If a student prints more than 300 pages in any one semester, they may wish to purchase additional pages in increments of 50 at the Student Services

UIS Student:
