3 3 How do I obtain a print copy card, and how much does it cost? Automatic card dispensing machine To use library photocopiers and s you can use your student ID card or purchase a Unicard print/copy card to purchase print/copy credit. It is recommended that students use their student ID card for printing as, if the student ID card is lost, printing credit can be transferred to the new card. Unicard print/copy cards do not have this feature. You can buy a Unicard print/copy card for $2.00 from automatic card dispensing machines (pictured left) located in branch libraries. Please note that Unicard print/copy cards are not supplied with printing credit. Credit can be added to your account at an automatic dispensing machine. The cost of printing is 12 cents (including GST) per page for black and white copies. Colour copies are more expensive. Students should write their name and student number on the back of their card so that they can be returned if lost or misplaced. Please note that change is not available over the counters or from the dispensing machines, but a change machine is located in the Social Sciences and Humanities Library on Level 1. 4 Printing costs additional notes Please be aware that documents generated by certain applications may incur multiple copy charges, even if printing only one page. Also, double-sided printing may incur the same charges as single-sided copies, despite using less paper. For example, an Adobe PDF document with multiple handouts per page may incur print charges based on the number of handouts, not the actual number of pages. Check with Unicard if you have concerns about your printing costs. Printing in the Library Page 3 of 7

A Properties window will appear. You can select various print options such as Double- Sided printing and Multiple pages per sheet. Make your selection, then press OK. IMPORTANT NOTES: When printing PowerPoint slides, do NOT combine a Handout selection with Properties N-Up in combinations like 6 in 1, for example. This will result in a one-page printout of diminished size. Double-sided printing will still attract the same printing costs as printing separate single-sided pages.
