FAQ
Q: If I paid $4, can I have it credited to my account for next
year?
A: No. However, quotas are valid for a whole year. So, if you decide
to buy more print quota, don't buy more than you need.
Q: Could I transfer another users's print quota to my account?
A: No.
Q: Would I get charged color rate for color printing if I printed
black and white on it?
A: Yes.
Q: How do you count the number of pages used?
A: The count is by sheets of papers used. So duplex printing = 1 page. 2-up printing = 1 page.
Duplex printing will be 1.5 pages due to budget cuts and rising costs. 2-up printing is still 1 page
Q: The printer was out of toner when it printed my page, does it count against my quota?
A: Yes. The assigned quota amount already has a built in value for printer,
toner, and user errors.
