Printing
The print stations on campus are in the following locations:
- room CA200, Aldred Centre
- room NH109, Senator Burns Building
- NN 8th Floor Business Centre, Senator Burns Building
- Reg Erhardt Library, MC111, Stan Grad Centre.
Print Stations have multifunction devices (MFD) for printing, copying and scanning. The MFDs default to black-and-white, double-sided printing. You can select colour printing and change other options in the print settings of your software if needed.
Page sizes available are:
- Letter (8 1/2" x 11")
- Legal (8 1/2" x 14")
- Tabloid (11" x 17")
Printing with your eCard
To pay for printing on campus printers, you must load your eCard account. Learn more about using your eCard and the many ways to add to or check the balance on your card.
Your printing cost is deducted from the balance on your eCard when you select "Print" in your software to send your job to the printer. A "page" in the chart below is one side of a sheet of paper.
| Printer location | Cost/black & white page | Cost/colour page |
|---|---|---|
| Classrooms | $0.50 | $1 |
| Print stations | $0.20 | $0.50 |
SAIT printers do not currently support printing, copying or scanning by visitors to SAIT.
Troubleshooting and printing support
There are no steps required at the printer. If your job does not print, you may need to add money to your eCard account or check that your eCard is active. Printing requests from an account with an insufficient balance or inactive eCARD do not activate a message or notification - the print system will simply delete the print job.
The first step in troubleshooting an unresponsive printer is to check your eCARD balance and status.
You can direct all concerns or issues regarding the eCARD system (mobile app, online systems, loading funds) to the eCARD office.
For physical printer issues, such as adding a campus printer to your personal laptop, paper jams, paper shortage, toner, or device service requests, contact the ITS Service Desk.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
