Location of printers

If you are in the Library Commons on the main (3rd) floor, printers are located by the columns near the Ask a Librarian sign/Research Help Desk. The printer names are on the front of each printer.

To select color or black and white

Each printer has two names, one for black and white printing and one for color printing. You need to select a printer (by name, not settings) that includes "BW" to print in black and white, and that includes "color" if you want to print in color. 

For example: You want to print in color on printer #2. 

  • When you go to print your file, select “ML331-COLOR2". 
  • If you had selected the printer named "ML331-BW2" it would come out of the same machine but in black and white. 

If you are a public user, unfortunately printing is not available. Please reach out to the Radford Public Library for printing services.
