SOM Printing

[nxa051100]

As some of you may know, the School of Management (SOM) computer lab counts the cover pages as part of the number of pages printed (taking away from the pre-set printing quota that could be used to print class notes etc.). I do not think that is fair, since we (the users) did not ask for cover pages; and if they are absolutely necessary, then why not omit the page from the sheet count like the Sonora and Jonsson labs do?

Another issue is double-sided printing: in the SOM labs, printing one double-sided page costs the same as printing two individual pages (unless, of course, each page comes with its own cover), so why charge twice for double-sided printing if it only uses one sheet of paper? If a double-sided page was counted as one sheet, that would actually encourage more users to utilize this feature, thereby reducing the number of sheets printed in a day (or a week), saving both the environment and the cost of replacing paper for the school.

I just wanted to bring up this issue to SG. Please reply and/or vote in the poll to make your voice heard

I will forward this suggestion to the students in the SOM Dean’s Council and see what they say. I’ll keep in touch!
