There should be instructions at the bottom of the email.
This came into my mercer account - it's about printing changes on the Mercer campus.

Effective Fall Semester 2009
Mercer University in August 2004 implemented a "pay-for-print" system at many campus computer printing locations in an effort to better serve the needs of students. Using their Bearcards, students were able to access printing services just as they had for photocopiers. As a way to phase in the program, the University provided students the equivalent of 200 free black and white prints per semester.
Over the past several years, computer printing has replaced photocopying as the most popular medium of creating document copies. Students are currently printing in excess of 1 million pages per year using this system. The funding model that the University has used is no longer appropriate for the current volume of printing activity. Changes are required to provide improved service for students in this higher-volume environment.
Therefore, beginning in Fall Semester 2009, a new pricing structure will be implemented for the "pay-for-print" system. The free initial prints will be eliminated and printing prices will be reduced by 20%. Black and white single-sided prints will be reduced from 10¢ to 8¢, and color single-sided prints will be reduced from 25¢ to 20¢. This price reduction will, over the year, offset printing costs for students as a whole, even with the loss of the free prints. Of course, since the number of prints varies among students, some will see a small increase in total costs, while other students will experience a modest decrease in their costs.
One distinct benefit to this program change is that the University will also be able to expand the number of print stations across all university campuses to further enhance student services.
