Provisions:

1. Each registered student will have an allocation of 600 pages ($30.00) of printing for each semester at no cost. (front and back could result in as few as 300 pages) The print balance of $30.00 is based on black and white print costs being factored at .05 cents per page (600 x .05 = 30)
2. The Novell login tracks individual print balances.
3. Students can check their printing balance by rolling the mouse over the $ icon on the task bar in any computer lab. (Note: The program was previously set to $600.00. Now you will see $30.00)
4. If a student needs to purchase a larger print balance, they can do so at the P-counter vending machine in the library ETC computer lab for .05 cents per page in whole dollar increments ($1.00 = 20 printed pages).
5. The vending machine does not accept coins; does not give change and does not give refunds.

How do I check my allotment?

Run your mouse over the $ icon on the task bar.

• Check page margins and the one-sided printing option (see 3rd item)
• It's always best to click on File then Print Preview (this will allow you to see your file as it will print – check number of pages)
