The computing lab has a total of 21 computers, 17 of which are running Mac OS X.5 (Leopard) and 4 of which are running Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Additionally, 5 of the Apple iMacs located on the right side of the room are configured to dual boot both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows XP! The CNS Computer Lab comes equipped with high speed black and white laser printing (2 HP LaserJet 4350). However, because printing is a costly service to maintain a print quota is enforced.

Current Quota: 600 credits per user per Fall and Spring semester, 500 credits per Summer semester.

In order to check your current print quota, please use the following online tool: Once you run out of quota, you will not be able to print. Additional quota will not be granted for any reason. As a result of these restrictions you must be very careful about what you are printing. Some useful tips include always printing in duplex mode (both sides), and only printing what is absolutely necessary - don't print one Power Point slide per sheet. Please address the lab consultant on duty for tips on smart printing. The CNS lab is now eqipped with a Photo Poster Plotter. This printer comes equipped with 36" rolls of paper. Please remember that your poster can be no longer than 36" on one edge. This device was purchased with Undergraduate Tech Fee funds and its use is strictly restricted to CNS undergraduates. Graduate students, Faculty, Staff, and Undergraduates from any other college are not permitted to use this device. CNS Computer Lab
