Fast Network Printing - charged service (Guideline for Teaching Studio Users)

(For more information, please refer to Frequently Asked Questions / Policies for this service)

Fast network printing service is available in Computing Services Centre for providing fast, high quality Black/White and Color printings. It is a charged service to supplement the existing quota-based printing service with the following purposes:

• Provides self-service printing in both Color and in Black & White;
• Supports high-volume printing at fast speed, and
• Provides low-cost printing when the allocated print quota is used up.

Three high performance printers called "Charge01", "Charge02" & "CMC_Charge01" are used for the service. Two print queues are created for each printer so as to provide optimized settings for Black/White or Color printings.
