Abstract

A debit card system for using photocopiers has been in operation for over a year at the Central Library at Vanderbilt University. Users put cash into a card dispenser and receive a card that has a cash balance encoded magnetically. As copies are made, the charge for the copies is debited from the balance on the card. This debit card system has increased photocopy sales—because users find the cards more convenient than coins, they are using the copiers more.
