How to place an order for Non Copyrighted Material

How to place an Order in RSF

When you login to your account in RSF you will be at the home screen.  To place an order you have two options,  ‘Copying for Classroom’ or ‘Copying for Administrative Purposes’.  The ‘Copying for Classroom’ is your general every-day type of classroom handout, quizzes, exams, etc.

The ‘Copying for Administrative Purposes’ would be for distribution to the professors & faculty staff.  We offer memo paper and letterhead as options for this type of printing.  The different paper choices are shown in the finishing screen.

 

How to place an Order in RSF

There are three options under ‘Copying for Class’.  Select which link best suits the type of printing that you wish to do.  Once you select your printing you will be sent to the non copyright submission screen to ADD your files.  When you ADD files, you will have two options, one is to directly upload your PDF file and the other option is to select ’Offline” materials, which is for hard copies that you will bring to the print centre.  Chose ’type’ filename pages—(if originals are double-sided you must count each side as one page) count each side of the sheet with writing as 1 page, then ’ADD’ and proceed as normal.

 

How to place an Order in RSF

Once your document is uploaded you now will have to give your job a name, select the quantity for printing, verify your PDF file uploaded and then you can click ‘Next’ to proceed to the finishing screen.  Only upload 1 file at a time.  If there is more than one file, add them separately.  **It is always best if you save your submission in PDF format then upload it for printing.  This will help to avoid any formatting errors if the document has to be converted to PDF.**

 

How  to place an order in RSF

This is your ‘finishing’ screen.  This is where you will select how you want the finished product to look.  If you want colour or black & white printing, single sided or double sided printing, portrait or landscape, hole punching, stapling, binding, and more.  **This screen also gives you the option to have input with the special instructions box at the bottom.  You can type special instructions for the job here.**  If you would like your job sent to another campus via interoffice mail you must include the room number and location (i.e.—WC— S110).  If you do not need collating you must specify this in the special instructions.  If you have multiple jobs with different colour paper, continue shopping and add them separately.

Once you have completed your finishing selections and click ‘Next’ at the bottom of the page you will be brought to the Review Screen.  From this screen you want to ensure that your print job has a name, the quantity is correct and your finishing options are correct.  Before you can proceed to the checkout screen you MUST approve this print job by checking the box next to ‘I Approve’ at the bottom.  Once you do this you can ‘Add to Cart’.

How to place an order for Copyrighted Material

The process is similar to the non-copyright material submission.  If the material you are printing requires copyright clearance there is a form that must be completed by you and approved through the library.  All of this can be done right from the RSF system.

The Copyright Permission Form must be added to your cart.  Click ’Add to Cart’ to add the form to your shopping cart.  The next step will be to add the materials that you wish to have printed.   “CONTINUE SHOPPING” to add more documents to be printed.

 

How to place an order in RSF

To submit the material to be printed with the Permission Form please refer to the previous chapter on how to create a print job in the RSF system.  These steps are the same.  When you checkout through the Copyright Submission process there are some slight differences in the ’Shopping Cart’ screen that you will notice.

 

**Your job really does not cost $9,000.00 as this is simply to draw attention to copyright permission being requested so that the print center does not proceed until the permission is granted.**

 

**Please proceed to the “Continue Shopping” to add your job for approval.**

 

How to reorder previous job submissions

How to reorder a previous job in RSF

RSF keeps a history of all your job submissions.  If find yourself printing the same material from term to term RSF has a shortcut that will be a time saver for you.  In your order history screen there is a ‘Reorder’ button that appears below each job.  This will allow you to resubmit the job as it was previously so that you do not have to go through the upload and finishing steps again.  This is designed to offer you a speedy way to reorder the same material as you have printed in the past.
