Fast Network Printing - charged service (Guideline for Notebook Computer Users)

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

Fast 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.

Two high performance printers of same model called "Charge01" & "Charge02" 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.

To increase user convenience, we have added this printing service to notebook computers. User can submit their print jobs through the notebooks anywhere.
