Posting printing subsidized by department or organization must occur on the Windows PCs located either in John P. McGowan Information Commons located in Main University Library (1970 Campus Drive) or the Astrahan Information Center located in the Seeley G. Mudd Library in Mudd Hall (2233 Tech Drive), both located on the Evanston campus. Please reference Northwestern University Libraries Plotter Printing Policy for additional details.

1. Review Library directions how to use plotters at https://libguides.northwestern.edu/plotter. Recommended file formats are PowerPoint (.pptx) and Adobe .PDF.
2. Log into one of the Windows PCs with your NetID and password. The plotter printing driver for Windows has additional software to help ensure your plotter job prints as intended.
3. Open the file. For .PDF files, the recommendation is to open the file in Adobe Acrobat and not the default PDF reader. This does require creating a free Adobe account connected to a northwestern.edu email.
4. Print the file on the printer in the library building you are in:
   1. Main Library: Chargeback-EV-NUL-MainLib-IC-Plotter
      Sometimes displayed as
      Chargeback-EV-NUL-MainLib-IC-Plotter on \\nwu-print-svr1.ads.northwestern.edu
      OR
      \\nwu-print-svr1.ads.northwestern.edu\Chargeback-EV-NUL-MainLib-IC-Plotter.
   2. Mudd Library: Chargeback-EV-NUL-Mudd-Plotter
      Sometimes displayed as
      Chargeback-EV-NUL-Mudd-Plotter on \\nwu-print-svr2.ads.northwestern.edu
      OR
      \\nwu-print-svr2.ads.northwestern.edu\Chargeback-EV-NUL-Mudd-Plotter.
5. When prompted by the PaperCut Print Job Notification window, select "Charge to shared account" and select the appropriate shared account for your program or class. Click Print.
   
6. Log into the release station associated with the plotter and print normally. There will be no indication that the print job will be charged to the shared account, but no funds will be deducted from your PaperCut or Cat Cash account.
