Topping Up Printer Credits

The P-Counter Machine

At the start of the term, your Newcastle College Student IT account was pre-loaded with 50 free printing credits, meaning you could print off 50 sides of A4 paper in black and white for free.

If you haven't already done so, you might be running out by now and if you try and print off your assignment without topping up, your work wont be released from the print queue.

Topping up is easy - you can either pay at one of the Library counters (at Main Library, Art Library, or PITS), or use the P-Counter Machine beside the IT desk in the Main Library.

Just log on to it as if you were logging on to NCG Online, insert your coins (this machine does NOT give change!!!), hit the silver "finish" button and wait for the flashing lights to turn red.

Additional credits cost 2p per page, however don't put too much money on - you get another free 50 credits at the start of January, then a further 50 credits after the Easter break.
