Student Printing at YSN

With the increase in availability of electronic reference resources, there has been a dramatic rise in the amount of material printed both in the computer lab and in the reference room areas at YSN. Throughout the University, escalating printing in public areas has resulted in a rise in costs due to paper, toner, and maintenance of printers. In an effort to conserve resources and cut costs, almost all of the undergraduate and graduate schools and the entire library systems at Yale have implemented paid printing within their public facilities.

In support of our conservation efforts, we have decided to implement paid printing at the Yale School of Nursing. The terms and conditions of printing at YSN are as follows:

• Every student will receive a yearly allocation of 1500 printed sides.
• Pages not used can be carried over into the next year.
• Cost per page is $0.05 per printed side for black and white printing and $0.75 per printed side for color printing.
• Additional pages can be purchased through the Business Services Office: 203-785-2398.
  

To help keep your costs down, please keep the following in mind:

• Print only what you need.
• Print only one copy of your document. If you have to hand out copies to your classmates, use the copy machines for making multiple copies of documents.
• To save toner, when printing PowerPoint presentations, change the print preferences to print multiple slides per page and select to print "pure black and white" only.
• If you are having trouble printing, ask for help. Don't continue to send a print job to the printer if it appears that nothing is coming out. The printer may be offline, out of paper, jammed, or processing someone else's print job.
• Students who consistently violate these policies or print excessive amounts of pages may have their printing privileges suspended. Only the Director of ITS or the Computing Support Technician(s) can restore printing privileges.
