DS-Print
PHOTOCOPYING, PRINTING AND SCANNING AT
THE HADDON LIBRARY AND BEYOND
What is DS-Print?
• A charging facility for photocopying, printing and scanning used by many departments and
colleges within the University of Cambridge.
• Part of Desktop Services which is run by University Information Services.
DS-Print is a password operated system. Your Desktop Services password will most likely be the
same as your Raven password and your Hermes (email) password. If you are unsure what any of
your passwords are, you can change them at https://password.csx.cam.ac.uk. You are
encouraged to have one password for all three services.
First step: register your University Card
As well as registering your
University Card to borrow
books from us, you will need to
register it with us separately to
use our photocopying,
scanning and printing device.
Tell the person behind the
issue desk your CRSid, and we
will register you.
Second step: put some money on your
Card
If you want to do photocopying, printing or scanning you will need to put money on your card.
You can do this by giving cash to the person behind the issue desk.
There is no minimum or maximum amount you can pay at one time. You can pay in pence as
well as pounds.
Or to pay online, visit https://ecredit.ds.cam.ac.uk/ and use your debit or credit card (AMEX cards
not accepted). You can pay in multiples of £1.00 up to £30.00.

Restrictions on Photocopying and
Scanning
Copyright Restrictions
• No more than 5% or one chapter from a published book.
• No more than one article from a journal or periodical.
• If you want to photocopy or scan a dissertation or thesis we will ask you to fill out and sign a
Copyright Declaration form.
Maximum file size when scanning
35MB is the maximum file size that Hermes can accommodate.
This equates to about 270 full colour A4 images so should be enough for most scanning jobs.
Where is our device located?
Our photocopying, printing and scanning device is located at the
top of the small set of steps that lead up from the issue desk to the
Main Reading Room of the Haddon Library.
How to photocopy at
the Haddon Library
Notice the place to swipe your card when logging on, and the paper feed on the top which you can use
for photocopying and scanning. If your card doesn’t work then let us know and we will show you how
to load your login details onto it. If your card doesn’t have a chip, you will need to sign in each time.
After swiping your card to log on, you will be asked to choose which service you require. Click Copy to
photocopy.
Here you select paper size and orientation (essential!) and zoom size, and you can choose colour and
double-sided if you wish. Place one item on the glass or as many as you like in the feeder and press
the big blue button. Click Access to log out.
Alternatively, if you are photocopying on the glass to double-sided, you will get this screen and be
asked to copy more images. When you have finished copying, press Finish, then the big blue button,
then log out.
How to print at the
Haddon Library
Which computers can I print from?
One of our three computers in the Main
Reading Room or our computer in the
McBurney Room.
Not the Electronic Legal Deposit computer, your
own computer or a USB stick in the device itself.
You can send your documents to print on
another DS-Print device in the University rather
than ours.
You can also send a document from another
computer connected to the Cambridge
University Data Network to print on our device.
Open your document. Press File, Print and then adjust settings. Here you can choose double-sided,
paper orientation, page ranges, etc. Notice the Print in greyscale check box.
Colour needs to be selected in Properties/Quality tab as well as unchecking the greyscale check box. There
are more settings in the Properties tab, such as paper size and fitting two pages on one side of paper.
After clicking Print, you will be asked to log on to the computer using your CRSid and Desktop
Services password.
Then log on to the device by swiping your card, and press Release to access your document(s).
You have the chance to delete a document before paying for it by highlighting it, and then
pressing Delete. If you happy to print, highlight the document(s) you want to print, and then
press the big blue button. You won’t be charged until you do this. Click Access to log out.
How to scan at the
Haddon Library
After swiping your card to log on, press Scan/Fax to scan. Press Me to send the document to your
email address and/or Direct Input another email address. Select scan size and orientation (essential!).
Change colour, resolution and file type here too. Place one item on the glass or as many as you like in
the feeder and press the big blue button. Press Access to log out.
The default setting is to send a separate email for each image on the glass (not so for the feeder). To
include more than one glass-scanned item in the same email, click Application, slide the bar along to
Separate Scan and turn it to ON. Put the item on the glass or in the feeder and press the big blue button.
You will get this screen and be asked to scan more images. When you have finished scanning, press
Finish, then the big blue button, then log out.
