    • The minimum amount you can add by credit card is $5.
    • Pre-paid cards are available for purchase at the Service Desk of most library locations in values of $1 to $20.
    • Per page printing charges vary. See below for SSTS printing charges.
  • When printing on any SSTS lab computers, the default printer will be the adjacent printer and black and white will be the default.
  • Log onto the Release Station or device to release your printing and the funds will be automatically debited from your account.
  • Printing will remain in the queue for up to 2 hours.
