The Law School is currently providing free printing for law students at the Law Library’s print center.

- To print from eBooks, such as study aids, download the pages needed and then print wirelessly or from a library computer. Note that the publisher’s site will usually alert you if your request exceeds the copyright guidelines.
- Double-sided and Color Printing: The Law Library printers do not provide double-sided printing. If you prefer double-sided materials or color printing, use the campus copy center.
- Printing Limitations: Because there are only three printers available for the printing needs of all law students, we request that you consider the following before submitting a print request:
- Limit requests to printing required for immediate class/research use and other necessary materials.
- Print materials for one week or class at a time, not the entire semester.
- Consider whether only a portion of a document needs to be printed.
- During high demand times, it is necessary to allow time to meet submission deadlines.
- Alternatives to the Library Printers:
- Lexis Printers: There are two high-capacity free Lexis printers. If you need cases, statutes, or secondary materials, up to 1,000 pages, please use your Lexis+ credentials to locate and print these from Lexis.
Lexis prints double-sided on 3-hole-punched paper for your convenience. Select either of the LexisNexis Printers in the Print Center from the options. DO NOT send Lexis materials through Hawkprint.
This will help spread printing demands across our available printers and better ensure that everyone’s needs are met. Lexis printing is ALWAYS free.
- Lexis Printers: There are two high-capacity free Lexis printers. If you need cases, statutes, or secondary materials, up to 1,000 pages, please use your Lexis+ credentials to locate and print these from Lexis.

Scan
The KIC book scanners are located within the Print Center. They allow the library’s patrons to scan books or, by using the sheet feeders, to scan documents. The scans can be delivered via USB, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, email, or QR code.
The microfiche and microfilm reader/scanner is also located in the Print Center. Library patrons are able to read and scan to disk or USB any of the materials the library makes available via microfiche and microfilm.
Fax
There are web-based services available for use to send or receive faxes for free. The library does not have any fax machines for public use.
To send a short fax, consider:
Faxzero is a free web-based service that is advertiser supported; the site puts an advertisement on a coversheet that the recipient sees. It permits users to send up to two free faxes per day to machines in the United States, Puerto Rico, or Canada. The maximum file size for the fax is 20MB. For longer or advertisement free faxes, there is a charge of $1.99 a page via Paypal. International rates may also be higher, typically around $4 per fax. Faxzero supports .doc or .pdf files, image files such as .gif, or a text based message.
To receive a fax, consider:
The eFaxFree plan allows you to get a fax number (not always a local number) that sends faxes as an attachment in your email. The free plan provides the ability to receive up to 10 faxes per month. It does not provide the ability to send faxes for free using the eFaxFree plan, but the eFax Plus account provides the option of paying for a monthly plan with many other features.
