(Purchasing additional print credit)

(Help. I can’t print)

On the instruction of the Department Committee, printing to PWF printers operated by the Division of Archaeology is charged for. Most members of the Division of Archaeology receive a free quota each year. Additional printing must then be paid for.

Quotas¶

The allowances for the Academical Year 2013–2014 are as follows:

Undergraduates, Visting Scholars, Visiting Students, Affiliated Scholars and Affiliated Lecturers should purchase credit as described below in Purchasing additional print credit. UTOs in the Division of Archaeology should contact a Computer Officer.

Charges¶

The actual charges are as follows:

You will be unable to print to a PWF printer without an allocated print quota. This is allocated to you when you have obtained keys to Room B9 or the appropriate laboratory. After you have been issued keys your quota is credited appropriately each year until you return your keys or cease to be an eligible student. Credit is not allocated retrospectively.

If you are not entitled to a print quota you will need to purchase credits using the PWF eCredit application described below.

Problems¶

If your print job fails contact the Computer Officer for a refund. A refund is only available if the failure is due to a fault on the printing system or the printer. Print jobs failing due to user error are not eligible for a refund.

Help. I can’t print¶

If you are unable to print, you probably don’t have any print quota. This may be because you have not followed the correct procedure for getting permission to use the computers in B9. This is explained here. Your print quota is allocated to you only when you have obtained the permission of the Convenor of the Computing Sub-committee and the necessary keys from Jessica Rippengal.

Scope¶

Please note that print credits purchased from the Department are not valid on Computing Service PWF printers, but print credit purchased from the Computing Service through the PWF eCredit application are.
