Octopus-operated Fast Printing Service Guideline for Oval & IS Workstation Users

Fast printing service is available in the Library 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.

Steps for printing:

  1. Click on Work Desk icon on screen.
