CETS Print 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:
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.
COLOR Printing Policy
The Color LaserJet 4500N is located in the CETS Office, 164 Levine, and
costs 1.00 per sheet.
- Available only between the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday
through Friday.
- Users must show their PennID
- Documents must be print ready and on diskette. (We recommend
printing a black and white version beforehand.)
- There is a five page limit per user, per day.
- Multiple copies are not permitted.
- Services are not transferrable.
Compressing Output
Below are various commands and methods which can be used to compress up to eight pages of output to fit onto one sheet of paper. To send output
to CETS printers using these commands, the user must be logged on to
their ENIAC account. Where printqueue appears in
commands below, indicate 164 or M70.
For example, mpage -8 -P164 test.ps sends
test.ps to Moore 164.

"Print" window, change the "Print what" option to "Handouts
(n
per page)," where n is either 2, 3, or 6 slides per page.

web page
contains a lot of text with little or no images, try reducing the font
size bef
ore printing.
| | Eliminating cover pages | If
possible,
try combining multiple files into one.
