YUMPU automatically turns print PDFs into web optimized ePapers that Google loves.
If you do leave something printing at the end of a lesson or a break,<br />
remember to collect it later.<br />
Ask yourself whether you really need to print now, or whether it could<br />
wait until later, when you might have thought of some improvements to<br />
your work anyway. Always check your work before printing – use the<br />
preview button. Last term, one student printed out a small spread sheet,<br />
which took over 40 pages, because one of the settings was wrong. Preview<br />
would have prevented that.<br />
Never fiddle with the printers or press the buttons on them. Always seek<br />
help if you suspect that the printer is not working properly.<br />
If the printer runs out of paper, your printout will be stored in memory<br />
until the paper has been installed – don’t try to print out your work again.<br />
When printing off copies of PowerPoint presentations, remember to do<br />
these in BLACK and WHITE (Grayscale); colour is too wasteful unless they<br />
are definitely being used for display purposes.<br />
4. How can I get more credits?<br />
Mrs Arnold, Mrs Williams, Mr Grewcock, Mr Clarke, Mr Jones, Mrs Leite and Mr<br />
Gilchrist (for boarding students) are the only people who can give credits. They<br />
are all very willing to do so, but may be busy when you ask. So, don’t wait until<br />
you run out – keep an eye on your credit balance. You will be asked why you need<br />
more credits. This is so the relevant school department can be charged for<br />
them. For example, if you want 50 credits for English coursework, the English<br />
department will be notified.<br />
If you want credits for non-school use, eg. if you wanted to print something off<br />
the internet for your own use, then we would ask you to pay cash.<br />
5. Credits are a nuisance, because sometimes I cannot print when I want to<br />
If you look after your credits, keep an eye on them, and<br />
follow the advice given above, then you should not run out<br />
of them. Plan ahead, and remember the ways to avoid<br />
waste. Let us all try to stop the hundreds of pounds<br />
worth of printer ink and paper that go straight into the<br />
bin each year.<br />
