Photocopying in the Library

  • How much does photocopying cost?
    One-sided, black and white photocopying on 8.5" x 11" paper is $.20/sheet if you use a copy card, $.25/sheet when you use coins. We are trying to keep the cost we extend to the UMass community at an absolute minimum.
  • How do I pay for my photocopying?
    You can purchase a Copy Data card from the dispenser located on the first floor of the library or pay with coins at the copier.
  • How do I purchase new Copy Data cards?
    • In Library Purchase - 1st Floor Dispenser: A $1 bill is required to purchase a card with $.60 value (the card itself costs $.40).
    • Additional value can be added to cards using $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills.
    • Direct or Bulk Card Ordering for UMMS Departments: Purchase Orders must be used to order cards directly from Copy Data, the library's service provider.

  • Once I have a card from the dispenser, or one ordered directly from Copy Data, may I add value to it?
    Yes, value can be added at the dispensers in the library using cash.
  • Can I use the same copy card that I use for printing?
    Yes, the Copy Data card can be used for both photocopying and printing.
  • Where are the copiers?
    There are two copiers on the first floor. Both machines accept a copy card for payment at $.20 per page. Two machines also accept coins at $.25 per page.
  • What happens if the photocopier malfunctions while I'm using it?
    Inform library staff at the Library Service Point (LSP), who will immediately contact a Copy Data technician. The copier will be repaired as soon as possible.
  • What if a machine causes me to lose cash or value on my copy card, or my card ceases to function while I am copying?
    • Report the loss to LSP staff.
    • Losses less than $5.00 can be corrected immediately.
    • Losses greater than $5.00 must be submitted to Copy Data for reimbursement, but a card with $5.00 value will be issued to you immediately. You will be required to sign for this card. Legitimate claims will result in reimbursement from Copy Data in a timely manner.
