CETS Print Policy and Instructions
Free Black & White Printing Policy
CETS provides free black and white laser printing of any documents created (authored) by a user for his/her own SEAS course work (such as papers, programs and graphs). Restrictions include:
- No multiple copies or form letters.
- A five page limit per half hour on all other combined printing such as web material, course notes, practice exams, correspondence, etc.
- Printing on special paper, transparencies, envelopes, etc. is not permitted.
Given the restrictions, output may be deleted from the queue or not distributed (recycled) due to:
- Multiple copies
- Exceeding the five page limit
- Causing printer malfunction
- Having been queued from a non-CETS site
- Allowing someone else to print from the account
For course-related documents such as class notes and practice tests that exceed the five page limit you should:
- See your instructor for hardcopies.
- Print at one of the "pay-to-print" facilities on campus.
- Compress multiple pages of output onto one sheet of paper. See: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/cets/printpolicy.html#compress
Any output not picked up after three days is recycled. The Copy Center in Levine 166B is available for making copies and handling special paper requests.
