Printing is charged directly to members’ Upay account. 

When using College printers a number of points should further be borne mind:

  • Print jobs that become queued due to insufficient printing credit will be printed when additional credit is available, therefore users should delete such documents from the appropriate printer queue if they do not intend to proceed with printing at that time.
     
  • Before submitting work for printing, the destination printer should be checked to make sure that it has paper and toner.
     
  • Any poor quality printing or malfunctioning printers should be brought to the attention of the College’s I.T. staff by e-mailing support@stcatz.ox.ac.uk
