PRINTING IN THE SINC SITE (COMPUTER LABS)
All students have a daily/weekly quota print quota.
- Each student is given a $2.00 balance daily to print which will allow each student to print up to 40 sheets per day, or 25 double sided sheets.
- If you don't use your print quota for the day, the balance will rollover to the next day.
- On Saturday early morning and Monday early morning the system resets itself to $2.00 or 40 sheets.
The print out sheet says I have a balance, do I owe money?
NO! The technology fee you pay every semester covers your printing costs.

Logging in to print:
There are printed instructions and/or Student Consultants in each SINC Site to help you with your printing needs. You will need to know:
- Your Net ID Username and Net ID Password
(If you are having trouble printing, please visit the following website:
http://clientsupport.stonybrook.edu/public/netid/psswd.shtml
or speak to a Student Consultant)
- All registered students can print.
Printing from a workstation in a SINC Site (Computer Lab)
- Within every SINC Site, each individual computer will now have the ability to print to
a spool queue.
- After you press the print button, you will need to visit a Pharos Release Station
to release (send) your print job(s) to the printer.
- After the job has printed, it will count towards your quota.
NOTE: Jobs sent to the print queue, but not printed, will be deleted after 3 hours.
- The Main Library SINC Site rm 1460, Student Union SINC Site rm 080 and the Engineering
SINC Site
rm 106 have additional stations just for printing so people can walk-in
just to print.
- The remaining SINC Sites only support Pharos Release Stations; therefore you need to find a vacant computer on the floor to use.
