Why are we instituting quotas for printing in the LRC?
The CE LRC has decided to implement printing quotas on all lab printers, this includes LRC_laser1, LRC_laser2, LRC_Laser3, LRC_Laser4, Color_Laser, Color_CD (the plotter), VDLPrinter, VDLColor, VDLPlotter, and STuLounge_Printer. This decision has been made partially in response to a survey, where many students expressed frustration about the printing situation. Unlimited printing capability for all students has led to a large amount of abuse, which in turn has severely decreased our ability to provide relatively equal user access to all printers. We are also reacting to an increased cost in printing, due to the introduction of laser printing in the LRC.

What happens if the printer malfunctions?
Your quota includes a few extra pages for printer malfunction. If you run out of quota and feel that printer malfunction used a significant portion of your quota, then you can request more quota by filling out the Printing Quota Request Form. This will be done only for print jobs which were corrupted to due equipment failure or malfunction. In order to avoid printing something you do not want, please read through the printing tips page.
