Printers are available in the lab. Users are responsible for their own supplies including CDs, USB flash drives, and printer paper. For virus prevention and consistent operation of the computers, the computers are equipped with hard drive protection software. So changes to the programs and files saved to the computers are erased when the computers are rebooted. Please save your work on your own media before leaving the lab.
