How does my printing balance work?

Our printing system uses two internal accounts (called “purses”) to calculate the amount you can print (called "My Funds").

The Two "Purses"

  1. Free Balance                                   
    1. Includes your monthly $20.00 printing credit from TRL.
    2. Resets to $20.00 on the 1st of each month (or the first open day).
    3. Once this balance reaches $0, any additional printing or copying costs are taken from the User Funds purse (see below).
  2. User Funds                   
    1. Tracks any amount owed if you exceed your available balance (displayed as a negative balance).
    2. If a negative balance exists, up to $20 is automatically applied from Free Balance on the 1st of each month (or first open day)

My Funds: The Total Combined Balance

The two purses are combined to calculate the total amount available for printing and is displayed as My Funds.

  • My Funds is not a separate account or “purse”.
  • It’s simply a calculation that displays the amount available for printing and copying.

Formula:

  • My Funds = Free Balance + User Funds

Printing Eligibility

  • You can print when My Funds > $0.
  • Printing is automatically blocked if My Funds ≤ $0.
