All students will be given 500 pages each fall,
500 pages each spring, and 500 pages each summer semester for lab printing. If
additional printing is needed, pages can be purchased from the business office
located in Wildy Hall. These additional pages can be purchased in increments of
$1, $5, and $10 at a cost of $.05 per page. For a list of common questions
regarding this program, please view the information below.

Fall Semester 2008

Why has
McK limited the amount of pages given to students for printing?
For the
spring 2007 semester McKendree monitored and gathered printing statistics for
all the computer labs. Without analyzing the statistics an excessive printing
waste was quickly apparent by stacks of paper printed but never picked up each
day. Although paper can be recycled it is better that the waste is not created.

How was
the printing allowance number determined?
In one semester 445,316 pages
were printed in the labs from 1,554 different students. This averages to be
approximately 287 pages printed per student. We do not wish to hinder necessary printing but
do wish to curb wasteful printing. By allowing 500 pages each semester, we are setting the allowance above the average but
reducing wasteful printing.back
How do I
track my printing amount?
Each time
you print from a lab computer you will receive a message counting down your
number of printed pages. With your McKendree username and password you can also
log on to http://myprinting
from any McKendree lab computer and review your printing account
information, balance, and credit your account with additional purchased pages.
back
How do I
purchase additional prints?
Visit the
business office located in Wildy Hall. Print cards for additional pages can be
purchased in denominations of $1, $5, and $10 at $.05 per page. Your purchased
card will contain a one time number that can be entered at any McKendree lab
computer to credit your account balance. Visit
http://myprinting
to enter a purchased print card number.

How do I
print for a registered student organization or club?
Members of
student groups can always print from their personal account for small print
jobs. Group may also wish to collaborate and utilize other group member’s unused
pages. For print jobs larger than 25 pages it is recommended that the student
organization use the print shop in Eisenmayer building.
back
Do my
unused pages rollover to the next semester?
No, unused
pages will not rollover to another semester. At the beginning of each semester
the printing allowance will be set back to the default of 500 pages for fall,
500 pages for spring, and 500 pages for summer. If you have purchased additional
pages, however, any unused purchased pages will roll into the next semester.
