Print, Copy & Scan

Printer Locations

Our printers can also be used as copiers, and they can be found in the following locations:

  • John Peace Library:  Printers are located on the 2nd floor in the Information Commons and in the lobby and on the 4th floor in the Study/Commons area.
  • Downtown Library: Three printers are located near the library entrance.
  • Applied Engineering and Technology Library: One printer is located in the lobby area.

Print jobs sent to the PrintSpot system can also be released from any PrintSpot printer on the Main and Downtown campuses.

Paying For Printing

Students enrolled on a full-time basis receive an allocation of $12 in printing credit at the beginning of fall and spring semesters. After the $12 is used, additional print credit can be purchased by adding Rowdy Dollars to your UTSACard. Add funds online, on your smartphone or in person. For more information, visit the Rowdy Dollars page via Campus Services.

Faculty and staff may also add Rowdy Dollars to their UTSACards for printing via campus services.

Double-sided printing, which saves paper and your printing funds, is the default print setting.

Printing charges apply to copying as well.

Guest Printing

PrintSpot is for faculty, staff and student use only. For guest printing, please visit UPS store located in the UTSA Student Union.

Scanner Locations

  • John Peace Library: Three scanners are located in the North Commons ScanSpot area near the 2nd floor Front Desk.

Using the Scanners

High-speed KIC scanners allow you to scan pages from books, magazines, or journals and email the files or save them to a USB drive.

Please limit your time on the KIC scanners to 5 minutes if others are waiting.

Please refer to our Copyright Policy for concerns or questions about scanning and copyright law compliance.
