Documentation
FAQ
The first time a Gina Cody School student sends a job to a plotter, a plotting quota of 25 pages is allocated to that user. A printing quota of 50 pages is given for the ledger size prints. These quotas are non-renewable. If you need extra quota, your supervisor must submit a request to the Service Desk on your behalf.
Through the years, students have been encouraged to send print jobs to plotters in PDF format. However, for certain posters, it may be necessary to send the print job from the original application. Therefore, when you present yourself to H-964, make sure you have access to your file(s) in both the original and the PDF format.
