1. Print Request

For print output <1,500kb, your print request will be printed as soon as possible.

For print output >= 1,500KB, you have to submit a LARGE VOLUME OUTPUT (LVO) form to apply for printing. Corresponding output will be arranged to be printed during non-office hours to minimize the impact on other users. If the LVO form is not submitted WITHIN 3 WORKING DAYS (excluding Saturday) , the print job will be purged automatically by the system. You may use the following commands to check your print request.

To check your file size,
% ls -l your_file_name

To check your print job information
%lpstat -t

2. LARGE VOLUME OUTPUT (LVO) Form

The form is obtainable on the web. Or, you may email to https://helpdesk.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk/group/sr-help by specifying your computing id, print job ID and the host name such as Logic, Mailserv, Orbit and Orpin.

You will receive an acknowledgement through e-mail WITHIN 3 WORKING DAYS regarding the printing arrangement.

3. Collect Your Output from the Bin Box

You have to collect your printout from the on-duty operation at Machine Room (G/F Pi Ch'iu Building). Any printouts not collected within three months will be discarded by the Information Technology Services Centre.

4. Compressed Mode for Printing

By default, the print output is 128 columns in width. You may use the compressed mode of 200 columns by adding an option -oc on the print command.
% lp -oc your_file_name
