All U-M students, faculty, and staff receive a monthly allocation which can be used to pay for services. When you subscribe to ITD services, an ABS role and funding source are linked. Roles are associated with funding sources. Each U-M uniqname has a UMCE account with one or more roles. Supplemental funding for black and white printing is provided to CoE students who have exhausted their monthly allocation.
Color printing is prepaid from individual or departmental funding.
The Media Union now offers color printing which requires a new funding role. To use printing services in the Media Union, you need to set up an ITD login service and an IFS home directory. You cannot have a consultant reset your password over the phone. If you regularly use services that charge a fee such as printing or dial-in access, be sure that you check your account balance monthly. Both Pentium and Macintosh workstations require you to select the intended printer in a chooser.
