Hey. as of 2005, you don't provide your own paper -problems with paper jams etc. Now you get a certain quota of sheets provided on your account, so every time you print a page, special software deducts 1 piece and when it reaches zero, you can't print anymore so you have to go buy a prepaid copy card which will allow you to print again up to prepaid limit. My advice, invest in a cheapish laser printer and do most of your printing from home/residence. = much much cheaper
