Purchasing Copy Cards - To buy a copycard, go to the Vendacoder, encoding machine located near the Circulation Desk in the West Wing, first floor, of the Gold Star Building. Follow instructions posted on the machine. It does not give change. The full amount of any bill inserted in the machine is applied to the copy card in the form of copy credits. If you want fewer copies, you must use smaller bills.
Money inserted in excess of one dollar is applied to the card at a rate of eight cents per copy.
Please note that all copycards are dispensed with five credits only. If you use more than one dollar to purchase a card, you must reinsert the dispensed card to receive credits for your excess escrow. Should you fail to do so, the machine will alert you by emitting a beeping sound. After purchasing your card, you may program it with as many copy credits as you like by inserting card and money in the machine. This process can continue as long as the card's magnetic strip remains unchanged.
