yes there is but it costs the same but if you're an environmental person here's the way you do it.....
"If you're in the library, you can also print back to back by going into properties and choosing "flip long end" or "flip short end". It costs the same amount but it does save paper (and space in your folder)".
(thanks to the biol103 forum for that little piece of info)

You're welcome santaslayer happy to help anytime, just ask:) :cool:
Is it just me, or does this seem unusually out of character? Am I missing something?

It works the same as a credit card scamming machine, you read the magnetic strip, identify the relevant parts and then adjust the magnetic strip info on the card and record it, and magically, you've got a copycard that you probably won't have to spend another cent on during your entire degree.... but its a secret.

Make us all magical copy cards, or we'll hunt u down, steal your magical copy card, and beat u silly. We can start a club. The beat up Raiks for his magical copy card club. My mate did double sided printing the other day, but he got charged for 3 pages instead of 2. I laughed at him :)

Yeah I was thinking about something like that being psosible. So who is daring enough to nick off with a cardreader from a photocopier at the library? :p

You can buy general magnetic strip card readers from quite a few business supply companies and with the right software which can be bought (for business using magnetic strip cards) you can manipulate most cards.

I have a friend who works in HR at a big bank and when installing the system, dodged up a couple of copy cards which have been given to a few friends.

Yeah, they are the same as the credit card readers.

And $16.72, try $1732.93.

That's 15754 pages of warm freshly printed paper.

No I don't have the instructions, but I can tell you that somebody has over $200,000 on their copy card... it's not me though.

Your best bet would just to google it.

Yeah, we only got ours done because the setup already existed.
