KNOWN ISSUES

If you select multiple pages to be printed on a single sheet or side, always check when releasing your print job (at the GoPrint Release Station) and be aware of how many pages you will be charged. Some software applications are compatible with the printing system (e.g. 4 pages on 1 page/sheet will be the cost of 1 page/sheet i.e. only 10¢); while other software applications are not compatible with the printing system (e.g. 4 pages on 1 page/sheet will be the cost of 4 pages i.e. 40¢).
