The image shows a public print release station inside a the Lydia Olson Library. A flat-panel computer monitor is mounted on a small riser shelf positioned on a light-colored countertop. The screen displays a green welcome page for Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan.
Centered on the screen is the university name and logo. Below the logo, instructional text explains that users can release print jobs at this station. The screen instructs users to swipe their identification card to begin and indicates that prints are released to a printer located to the left. The cost per black-and-white page is also displayed. A digital clock appears in the lower right corner of the monitor.
Beneath the monitor, a small desktop computer labeled “ThinkCentre” is placed under the riser shelf. To the lower left of the monitor, a card reader device is mounted on the countertop. The card reader has a narrow vertical slot and a small illuminated indicator light. A red circular highlight and arrow overlay draw attention to this card reader, indicating that users must swipe their NMU ID card or visitor card to activate the print release station.
A wired computer mouse rests on the countertop to the right of the monitor. Cables are visible behind the equipment, connecting the monitor, computer, and card reader.
Overall, the image demonstrates the physical layout of the print release station and identifies the location of the card reader required to release print jobs.
