Payment

All printers and copiers accept JumboCash. For information on printing cost and additional assistance, please visit the JumboPrint page.

If you don’t have JumboCash or are not a member of the Tufts community, you can purchase a guest print card at the JumboCash machine in the Lockers, Copiers, & Scanning Stations Room adjacent to the TTS Walk-Up Desk in the Tisch Library main lobby. The JumboCash machine only accepts cash. Insert a $1 bill into the machine to purchase and print a guest card. Insert additional cash to add funds to the card. Please bring singles, as the JumboCash machine does not dispense change. There is no place in the library to get change.

Scanning is free!  If you would like to print what you scanned, you do have to pay for printing using JumboCash. Additionally, at Tisch Library, you can scan files and print them from the color printer as an alternative to color copying.
