Please note that the CCI Commons Printers only have letter-sized paper. If you are a student and you need to print on paper of a different size, Westphal has paid printing in different paper sizes, although this is only available for people with card-swipe access. If you do not have access, please email ihelp@drexel.edu or ask a Student Assistant at the CCI Commons Helpdesk for help with printing on different paper sizes.
