Do I need an account?
In order to use the library’s printing devices, you must have a computing ID on the Law School domain and a Printing Accounting System (PAS) account. Law students, faculty and staff are automatically assigned PAS accounts: students receive a printing allotment which may be replenished online by credit card; faculty and staff are assigned departmental billing codes.
Patrons who are not affiliated with the Law School may create a guest account or use the library’s public computers and printers.
Steps for Creating a Guest Account for Computing, Copying, and Printing:
Go to one of the library's Public Access Computers (in the First Floor Reading Room) and click on the LawWeb link.
Click on the link for creating a new account
Enter the information in the form. Note that a web-accessible e-mail account is required, as well as a credit card to establish the account ($5 minimum).
After the account is established you will be e-mailed your password, PIN number, and billing code.
Go to a Login Computer in the WB computer lab and use your new login ID and password to log onto the system.
Click on LawWeb and scroll down to the Printing and Copying Services Guide for complete information on using the system.
How do I set up my laptop for printing?
You must first install the printer(s) you’d like to use.
Click the start button, then select "Run" in Windows XP or "Start Search" in Windows Vista. Type \\law8.lawschool.virginia.edu and then press OK.
Then double-click on each of the printers you’d like to install.
For complete information on how to set up your laptop for printing see the Student Printing and Copying Guide at http://www.law.virginia.edu/info/Student+Printing+and+Copying+Guide on LawWeb.
How much does it cost?
Users who have PAS accounts pay 5 cents per page for printing, scanning and copying. Users paying cash on the coin operated kiosks are charged 10 cents per page.
How do I make Photocopies?
To see the locations of all copiers, please refer to the Table at the top of this FAQ. Several copiers are equipped with coin-op controllers along with the account terminals.
The PAS terminal next to the copier is used to unlock the copier and charge copies to your account. First enter your UVA computing ID into the number pad and press the Enter button. Then, enter your Numeric PIN # and press the Enter button. After you are logged in, specify the billing code that you will use (this only applies to Faculty, Staff, and Student Organizations). This should unlock the copier so that you may make copies.
Users must create their own PIN numbers for photocopying; PINs are not automatically generated for you when you get your account. To create your PIN or change an existing PIN fill in the form at: https://lawnotes2.law.virginia.edu/case/uvareg.nsf/changePINCAS
In the WB Lab and in the Reserve Room. Instructions for using the scanner are posted on desktop screens of the computers near the scanner (in the WB Lab and in the Reserve Room).
Can I print, copy, or scan color documents?
Yes, there is a printer in the WB Lab labeled “LAWCOLOR” which can be used to print, copy and scan color documents.
Where can I get more detailed information about how to use this equipment?
This webpage has links explaining how to set up and print/copy, and a link for Online Account Recharge: http://www.law.virginia.edu/lawweb/lawweb2.nsf/pages/Student+Printing.
Are there are any coin-operated copiers?
There is one in the Reserve Room and one in WB248. They accept both coins and dollar bills.
What’s my PIN number?
Users must create their own PIN numbers for photocopying; they are not automatically generated for you when you get your account. To create your PIN or change an existing PIN fill in the form at: https://lawnotes2.law.virginia.edu/case/uvareg.nsf/changePINCAS
I’m not a student. Can I use the printers, copiers, and scanners?
If you are a member of the Faculty/Staff, you have been granted rights to charge Law School printing and copying to the appropriate Billing Codes. You can also charge any non Law School related printing/copying to a cash balance that has been linked to your user account.
I’m a UVA student, but not a law student. Can I use the printers, copiers and scanners?
You can either set up a guest account ($5 minimum with credit card) as described above under Do I Need an Account? or you can use the public computers in the library for printing, the coin operated machines for copying. Scanning requires a guest account.
I don’t have a laptop but I need to print something from a web site. Can I do this in the library?
There are public computers in the First Floor reading room and at the reference desk which will allow you to print even if you don’t have Law School domain account. The printer is located at the reference desk. Printing from a public computer is free but restricted to 3 pages per print request.
Are there any fax machines?
The Courts & Commerce Book Store in Slaughter Hall provides faxing service.
