How To Print

The Department of Art Graphic Design / Art & Technology (GDAT)
Labs feature a Xerox 9265 Printer, CAST Xerox C9265 GDAT Printer ART Lab. Stocked with high quality 8.5″ x 11″ (Letter) and 11″ x 17″ (Tabloid) paper, the device will print and copy, collate, fold and staple, and scan to email or jump drive. Users can print from lab computers or their own laptops by installing the printer the appropriate Xerox driver (ask djlicata@buffalo.edu for assistance.)

User accounts will be created for every student enrolled in an GDAT  Lab course, as well as for students in Time-Based Strategies and Senior Thesis. For each course lab fee paid, a student may print up to 100 color and 100 black and white 8.5x11 impressions (a print on a singe side, 11x17s cout as two). If you exceed your quota and can no longer print, see Dom in CFA 139.

The printer has been purchased and is maintained with student lab fees. It should be used for Course-Related Artwork Only. Text documents and materials for other courses should be printed UB Wepa printers, such as the located in the CFA basement, to the right of the Gallery. 

Only laser-compatible paper may be used in this printer. Students must use lab-supplied materials. For special requests, see Dom in 139 to discuss material details.
