| Points charged per printed page | Monochrome printing - 1 point per page Color printing - 10 points per page |
|---|---|
| Total number of complimentary printer points per academic year | 500 points |
| Cost of additional printer points | 100 points: \500 (points must be purchased in packs of 100 points) |
| When low-point warning message occurs | When 50 points remain in account. |
