about printing and photocopying

Printing and Photocopying

We are issuing students with a Wanganui High School Photo ID / Library and Printing card, which can be used in the following ways:

  • Library card -Issuing books at the school library (using the barcode on the front)
  • Photocopy/Scanning card - For photocopying and scanning, using the magnetic swipe card
  • For "Follow Me" printing - this is a system where a student sends a document to be printed but it will not actually be printed until the student swipes their card at the printer (avoiding potential confusion or loss of printed material)
  • ID card - for ID purposes inside and outside school.

Printing Quota

  • Students should be aware that all of their printing and photocopying will be logged to their printing account - You should have $5.00 quota already, but additional amounts will be added for some students at 1 other time later in the year. Your subject teachers will be able to advise you about this.
  • If you run out of quota you can buy a top up card ($1/$2/$5/$10) from the librarians.
