They suggested the following process to effect this change. Each lab is also equipped with 3 dot matrix printers which are no cost.
Laser printers are much more costly to supply and maintain than dot matrix printers.
We must share actual costs for paper, cartridges, and maintenance via departmental budgets. Faculty will therefore want to use the cards judiciously, advise students to use the dot matrix printers for draft quality, and remember that students do also have their own cards. Divisional offices will order as many cards from I.S. as they believe will be required initially for their faculty. I.S. will pre-fill faculty cards for 500 printed pages. To enable departments to track individual faculty use of cards and to allocate costs to program areas, I.S. will NOT provide any faculty with cards directly - they must obtain them from divisional offices.
