Quotas
Students can print up to 350 black and white pages per semester at no additional charge. Students are provided a $35.00 print quota as part of the student's technology fee. Print quotas are tallied for each student and charged against the $35.00. Black & white laser prints are charged at $.10 per page and color laser prints are charged at $.25 per page.
If you reach the $35.00 limit before the end of the semester, you may purchase additional pages in $5.00 quantities. Bring your receipt from the Carroll Business Office to the CCIT office, room 113 O'Connell Hall, and we will increase your print quota accordingly.
Printing Best Practices
Be part of the sustainability movement. Printing less means using less paper and less toner which means lower costs and less impact on the environment! Some ways to do this:
- Only print out the information you need. Many times you will only need a portion of the information on a web page. You can use the Copy command to copy only the sections you need and Paste that information to a Word file to print less.
- Be sure to select only the pages you need in the Print dialog box. You can specify select pages to print rather than the entire document.
- Make sure your computer is not targeted to print to a color printer unless you need a color print. Some color printers (Fortin Lab) will print black and white but your print settings need to indicate that you are printing black and white only. If you do not specify, it will charge for color.
- Please do not purchase any more print quota than you plan to use... it's non-refundable! However, we will carry over your purchased print quota from fall to spring semesters, and from spring to summer semesters.
Print Numbers
Note: Due to the fact that color printouts cost more to your print quota than black and white printouts - you may run out of your print quota even though you have not printed a full 350 pages.
