Limit print jobs to school-related tasks. We use a print management system to track students' paper usage throughout the quarter. Students receive 2500 points at the beginning of each quarter. Pages cost 10 points per color page, and 5 points for black & white pages. If students run out of points, they can purchase more at the Cashier's office.
