Vendacard machines Deborah Harrell 02 May 1996 19:00 UTC

We currently have 24 computers attached to our LAN and have three
printers.  Because all prints are "free" to the patrons, they are killing
us with their copying.

We already use the Easycard Vendacard machines attached to our regular
copiers and are planning on using these same units on our
computers/printers.  Does anyone have any experience of how this works?
We are afraid that 1) Unless we have a vendacard reader attached to each
computer, one patron will ultimately get charged for another patrons
copies.  2) Having a vendacard reader on each computer will not be
cost-effective.

Any experience, good or bad....

Thanks.
