Each student begins the semester with a $20 balance in their print quota. The total number of printed pages this will supply depends on what type of printing (black and white, color, single sided, double sided) is done. You will be able to view your available balance from any computer lab on campus. If you need to print more pages than your initial allocation will allow, you may purchase additional non-refundable credits in $3 increments at the following three locations: Office of Student Accounts, G-140 Willimans Center, M-F 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., cash, check, or credit Reed Library Circulation Desk [library hours], cash, check, SUNY Fredonia Debit Account and FREDFunds Media Center, W203 Thompson Hall [media center hours], SUNY Fredonia Debit Account and FREDFunds only Check your print quota now (link will only work on campus network) Frequently Asked Questions: How did SUNY Fredonia select a $20 per semester initial balance?The pilot project statistics showed that 90% of the users printed less than 600 pages. The $20.00 allocation allows for printing 600 single-print pages at $.03 per page, meeting the need for 90% of the student population. How much does each page cost? Single-print black and white page - $.03 Duplex print black and white page - $.04 Color print single page - $.10 Color print duplex page - $.16 I have noticed that not all labs have color printers. Where can I print in color? Reed Library and the Thompson Hall Media Center have color printers. Is there a maximum for print jobs? Print jobs are limited to a maximum of 50 pages per job. This is to eliminate the problem of very large print jobs delaying the printing of jobs for other students, as well as to reduce the potential for wasteful printing. What if I absolutely need to print something that is more than 50 pages? Split your print job into two or more jobs. You can easily do this by:
How do I increase my quota? You may purchase additional pages in $3 increments at the following locations: Office of Student Accounts, G-140 Williams Center, M-F 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., cash, check, or credit Reed Library Circulation Desk [library hours], cash, check, SUNY Fredonia Debit Account and FREDFunds Media Center [media center hours], W203 Thompson Hall, SUNY Fredonia Debit Account and FREDFunds only At the time of payment you will receive a "PrintQuota TopUp Card" with the value of the card, a code, and a web address. Access the web address and then enter the code from the card to increase your quota accordingly.
Does my account balance roll over to the next semester?
Pilot Project StatisticsBeginning with the Fall 2004 semester, SUNY Fredonia changed the way students print in Computer Labs and in Reed Library. In the past, the increased printing costs were paid from the technology fee. In order to encourage conservative use of technology fee funds and to be more environmentally friendly (save some trees), the Information Technology Advisory Board (ITAB) initiated a pilot project to evaluate printing trends and recommended implementation of a printing allocation. Following a pilot during the Spring 2004 semester, the Information Technology Advisory Board considered the following information:
