Operating hours for the duplicating area are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.


The duplicating area has state-of-the-art digital equipment that can be networked to provide you with first-generation quality copies. Our equipment is able to reproduce excellent, quality photographs and screen variations, and our operators are able to delete or move text. All of this is completed in a timely manner and at a lower cost than the convenience copiers on campus.

Send us your large volume projects or projects requiring special paper or bindery. Some of the finishing (bindery) we provide includes: GBC or coil binding in a variety of colors, saddle-stitching for booklets, folding, tape binding, and shrink-wrapping. We also have staff to provide the handwork for your special projects.

Note: Confidential duplicating jobs must be submitted in a confidential envelope and handed to a full-time Printing Services staff member. A drop box is provided at Wright Copy for confidential material. Additionally,
a Printing Services mailbox, located in front of the Campus Services Building,
is available for after hours use.

 

Networked Services

Printing Services offers a service allowing you to transmit an electronic document from a personal office computer to our duplicating center. This service is for those who wish to prepare their own artwork for duplicating. The DocuTech Production Publishing System is designed for the in-house production of high-quality documents, allowing every page to have first-generation quality.

Setting Up Your Macintosh Computer

Prior to printing to the DocuTech initially, software must be installed on your computer.
The software required to print from a Macintosh to the DocuTech is available at http://www.wright.edu/admin/prt/xdocmac.html. It includes Adobe PS Printer 8.7, a DocuTech printer description file, and a Microsoft Word template to create an order form to accompany your data file. If you would like assistance installing the software, a Printing Services staff member will assist you via telephone.

File Transfer Guide For Macintosh

This is a guide to help you electronically submit your file to the DocuTech system. Before submitting the DocuTech requisition and the electronic document file. Check all information. Please use "print preview" and check your document carefully. The DocuTech prints the document automatically; consequently, the operator is unable to verify if your margins, formatting, etc. is correct.

These instructions are for Macintosh computers printing to the DocuTech using Mac OS 8.6 or later with Desktop Printer capability and Microsoft Word. If you are using an earlier OS version, or do not have Microsoft Word, please contact Printing Services for alternate instructions.

  4. PRINT the document. The file will print directly to the DocuTech. A copy of the file will not appear on your normal printer. Always set the number of copies to ONE, and layout to one-sided.
