Printing

How do I print in METRC?

We recommend using our desktops to print whenever you’re in the library since they’re directly connected to the WolfPrint printers. If you need to add money to your account, use this step-by-step guide:

How to add money to your account

Available Printers:

Black and White – $.10 – “Wolfprint-BlackAndWhite” Located in METRC

Poster printer – Recommend at least $20 for research poster size – “Poe-400-plot1” Located in METRC

NOTE: In order to print a poster, you MUST print from a METRC desktop computer. Consider creating a digital poster instead of printing a poster when possible. Digital Poster Creation Tips

3D Printing information can be found on our 3D printing page.

Book scanner

Please remember it is your responsibility as an instructor to follow copyright law. We have high-speed scanners for multi-page documents and a book scanner that can save PDFs of documents directly to your Google Drive to then be added to Moodle.

Poster printer

Our poster printer is self-service. Please make sure you have money on your account (go.ncsu.edu/one-card) before printing. You must use a METRC desktop to print, and the file must be a .pdf file.

Mobility Print

There’s a new single-setup system in place that will allow you to print directly from your laptop or mobile device.

Check out how to set up your device on the WolfPrint website.

Once you’ve set up your device, select either WolfPrint-BlackAndWhite or WolfPrint-Color on any of your registered devices and hit print.

You will then need to release your print by going to go.ncsu.edu/wolfprint. Log in with your unity ID and password.

Retrieve your print job from the printer:

Find the printer
Swipe your ID card or login with your Unity ID and password on the screen
Select the ‘Print Release’ icon
Select ‘Print all’ to print multiple files or select the arrow next to the individual filename
Select ‘Print’
Select ‘Logout’ when finished printing your files.

NCSU students, faculty, and staff must have money in an AllCampus account (you can also go to go.ncsu.edu/one-card) to print 8 1/2 x 11 copies/printouts or posters.

METRC does not provide printing services to those without university AllCampus accounts. Printing is available at FedEx Office across the street from the D. H. Hill Library, at 2712 Hillsborough Street.

Refund requests for unsatisfactory print jobs are processed through Wolfprint.
