Print

Policy

  1. Users are expected take good care of the printer, it is a fragile and expensive equipment.
  2. Printing is only for students takings courses at CSIM program. The access to the printer is restricted through the printing server oak.cs.ait.ac.th, which is the domain controller for the domain SAMBA. Users have to connect to SAMBA domain before they can use the printers.
  3. Printing is limited by a quota system. When a sheet of paper is printed on both sides, it counts for two pages. Printing on AIT print anywhere printers count to the same quota.
  4. A Colour page costs 10 times the price of a black and white page.
  5. Printing quota is set to 4900 pages for a student taking a full 48 credits master degree in CSIM in Bangkok. The initial quota will be adjusted with respect to the number of credits taken in CSIM in Bangkok. By default, students can print only black and white pages.
  6. Additional quota may be purchased at the price of 100 Baht for 100 pages. The purchase page gives you instructions on how you can buy more printing quota.This price may be revised without prior notice, depending on the evolution of the cost of paper, toner and printer.
  7. Printing quota may be checked on the account management page.
  8. Printing paper is provided by CSIM program, when a printer is empty, student should ask one of the laboratory supervisor to refill paper.
  9. Initial printing quota has been fixed after comparison with other fields of study in AIT. The quota is assuming users will choose to print on both side of the page whenever it is possible.

Printing at night and during week ends

For your convenience, a printer has been installed in the laboratory, this printer will be available at night and during week ends. The printer is freely available, but we request that you abide by the following points in addition to the policy mentioned above:

    1. The printer is duplex, so do not grab the pages before they are completely out of the printer. To save paper, please print on both side of the pages.
    2. Be gentle when you load paper in the printer; the printer trays are 500 pages each, that may not be enough for a whole week end, so you could load some more paper, but do not force anything, so the paper tray will not break. Use only new, A4 paper.
      Be very gentle when you put some paper in the paper tray: if the trays are broken there will be no more printer for nights and week ends.
    3. The quota system is enforced on this printer too.
    4. Do not try to move the printer, disconnect it from the current computer or connect it to another computer; that would be a major offence.
