Cost of printing – balance reset from 1 August

The desktop icon which shows the cost of your printing was reset to £0.00 on 1 August.  This means you will be able to see exactly what your printing has cost since this date.  The balance will continue to run (in minus figures) as you print.

Why do we show the printing balance on your desktop?

The printing you do is charged to your department and this tool helps you to keep track.  It also gives you a better idea of the cost of print so you can decide whether it is the most effective way of sharing or referring to documents. Some types of printer are more expensive than others and the way you lay out documents and the printing options you choose all affect the cost.
