[Publib] Paying for computer printer copies

[Sue Kamm]

The company that supplies our photocopying machines also furnishes printers, paid for by a separate debit card or by putting money on their library cad.  (The library card has a magnetic strip which accepts the information on how much money the borrower has put on it.)  

The library gets a percentage of the money users pay for printing and photocopying.  And we're one of the few libraries whose photocopies and computer printouts are still only a dime a page.

Hi,
 
The manager that is responsible for our Computer Lab asked me to ask this question.
 
Right now, when someone wants to print something out, they buy a print ticket at the Circulation Desk and use that to buy the print.  They wanted to know if there is any system that would make this a more efficient system.  Something like using a debit card or a vending card to pay for prints.  Any suggestions would be appreciated
 
If anyone wants to reply off list, e-mail me at twirick at erielibrary.org and I will summarize for the list.
 
Thanks in advance.
