Wright State students and employees use their Wright1 Card to pay for printouts and photocopies in the Libraries. If you do not have a Wright1 Card, you can manually type your campus username and password on the printer. Cash is not accepted at printer/scanner/copiers.

If you need to add money to your Wright1 Card, you can do so with cash or credit/debit card at the Circulation Desk on the first floor. There is a deposit station on the second floor (across from the elevators) which accepts cash. You can also add money to your card online by logging into WINGS and accessing Wright1 Card Services for Students. (Deposits may not show on your card immediately).

Guest PrintWright Cards

Persons who are not affiliated with Wright State may borrow a Guest PrintWright Card from the Circulation Desk on the first floor. To borrow a PrintWright Card, you must give a valid photo ID for the library to hold until the card is returned.

PrintWright Cards will work for printing and copying on the printer/copier/scanner devices; for scanning, guests are invited to use the computers with attached scanners on the second floor computer stations #103 and #106.

The cost of your printouts or photocopies will be calculated when the borrowed PrintWright Card is returned.
