Printing at CUIT Facilities

Facilities > Printing at CUIT Facilities

CUIT provides a number of high-speed laser printers located throughout campus. The Hewlett-Packard 8000-series and 9000-series printers are capable of printing on both sides of a page (referred to as duplex), and offer 600 dots per inch (dpi) print quality.

The printers are controlled by NINJa terminals located above each printer. NINJa displays all of the documents that have been sent to the laser printer. From the NINJa terminal, you select your document from among those that are displayed on the screen. You are asked to confirm your identity by entering your account ID and password. Your document is then sent to the printer, and the number of pages printed is deducted from your printing quota.

As of 8/24/2009, the Medical Center campus will no longer use the Ninja printing system. Pages purchased through uni.columbia.edu will not be available for use on the Medical Center campus. For more information, please visit the new Pharos website.

The paper in the CUIT printers is soley intended for use in those printers, and it is against CUIT policy to remove this paper for your own printer or for other personal use.

New Printing Features Introduced in Spring 2006
