Lab Overview


Access Requirements

Only Law School students may use the lab computers. You will be required to login before you can use one of the lab computers. At that time you will need to provide your valid Law School NT username and password. See NT Accounts for further information on Law School NT accounts.

Your Responsibilities

Please make sure to log out when you leave. You can do so by clicking on the logout icon. Even though all Law lab computers are set to automatically log out after 15 minutes of inactivity, you should not rely on this. By making sure you have logged out, you will prevent others from accidentally using your print quota. Print balances lost by leaving a machine logged in is YOUR responsibility, no credit will be given if others accidentally print using your balance. By not logging out, other sensative information such as blind grading numbers, CASE information, and your online photo will be accessible to the next person to use that computer.

Saving information when using a lab computer

By default, files will be saved to the desktop. Do not depend on files saved locally on the machines, they will be deleted on a regular basis. Save your files on the home directory service or on diskette. We advise you to save your files on the home directory service. By using home directory service (HDS) in combination with CD-ROMs & USB memory sticks, students should never lose important papers, notes, class outlines and personal files. All students need to backup information and avoid any need for data recovery services. Data recovery services are not provided.

To create a pdf file, print to the printer called Acrobat Distiller and it will prompt you where to save the pdf file.

Printing In The Labs

There is at least one printer located in each of the Law School's computer labs. While in the Slaughter lab, print to the "SLLab" printer. When you are in the Withers Brown lab, print to the "WBLab" printer. There is also a second printer in the Withers Brown Lab named "WBLab2". Before printing, be sure that your have selected the printer in lab you are in. Remember, you will be charged for printing, even if you send your print job to the wrong printer.

Please remember to pick up your print job in a timely manner. This will prevent the printer trays from becoming congested. It will also help in preventing your print job from getting mixed up who someone else's. Also, remember that your print job will be printed without a banner page, so please be careful in making sure that you only take what you've printed.

Remember to discard all unwanted paper in the appropriate recycle box.

For more information on printing see Law School printing.
