Armstrong Library Plotter - printing to plotter instructions

How to print to the plotter at Armstrong:

Please note: Armstrong Library must be open in order for you to retrieve your print job from the plotter.  See go/hours to check.

  1. Log in to a computer in Armstrong 161 computer lab or BIH 116/117 labs or the set of computers closest to Armstrong 209. These computers can connect to the Armstrong plotter, which is located in Armstrong 155. They also have the software you probably used to create your poster (Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Reader, or PowerPoint).
  2. Open your poster and send it to the plotter (POSTERS-209). Release your poster to the plotter from any print release station. Your account will be charged $1.50 per linear foot.
  3. Go to the plotter in Armstrong 155.
  4. You will have to wait several minutes for your print job to be completed. Do not tear the poster from the plotter; wait for the plotter to cut the paper for you. Tearing the poster can cause expensive damage to the plotter.

Reimbursements for printing to the plotter:

  1. Students who are printing a poster for a class: Some departments might cover the cost of printing a poster for a class. These departments will have submitted your name to LIS at the beginning of the semester. LIS will have credited your account as instructed. Contact your department with any questions.
  2. Students who are printing a poster for the Spring Symposium: The Undergraduate Research Office (URO) will cover the cost of printing a poster for the Spring Symposium. You will receive a username and password from the URO for this. Contact the URO (uro@middlebury.edu) with any questions.
