Digital Media Commons Printers
DMC printers are not connected to the Rice Network. Payment for printing may be made by cash or check. Printing services are intended for Rice students, faculty, staff and Friends of Fondren.
DMC Policy for a Large Volume Print Job:
- For a large volume print job (i.e. over 500 pages), go to the Document Center in the Jones Graduate School of Business, located on the fourth floor of McNair Hall. The Document Center provides copying and printing services for the entire campus. Its hours are 8:00am – 6:00pm. A request for services can be accessed at http://Doccenter.rice.edu. The Document Center can be contacted at ext. 6571 or jccmail@rice.edu.
- For a medium volume print job between 100-500 pages, please print 100 pages first, then allow the printer cool down for 10 minutes, meanwhile, check the printouts to make sure the colors do not fade, if colors fade, notify DMC staff on duty to switch the ink cartridges before proceed to the next 100 pages. For duplex printing, please print 50 pages at a time. This practice prevents the printer from overheating and a certain ink cartridges from running too low to cause the color fading issue, so that waste of ink and paper on unsatisfying printouts won’t happen.
