Printing
The College charges for printing in all open access suites.
To check your printing balance, double click on the pound symbol in the task bar, this will display a window with your account details.
When you print from any program i.e Word, Excel etc, a popup window displays what is about to be printed, the number of pages, the cost and the amount of credit that you have. At this point you can choose to print the document or cancel the print job.
If you continue printing, but do not have enough credit to print all the pages, the document will not be printed and a popup window will inform you.
Crediting your account
You can credit you printing account at the Library issuing desk. Members of staff do not have to pay to credit their account.
Printing Costs
The cost of printing is 5p per side of A4 sheet black and white
Printing Problems
Printers are often busy and it can take a short while for your document to be printed. If you press print and nothing happens, do not press print again. If you press print more than once you will be charged for all the print jobs you send to the printer whether intentional or not.
If in any doubt, please contact a member of the IS Department via IT@rwcmd.ac.uk
