I learned a new fun fact yesterday from Annette while we were helping a student in the copy room: the card reader displays on the copiers (the ones that show how much money is on the card) show not two but three digits after the decimal point. So if a student puts in a copy card and the reader displays $.091 (as was the case yesterday), don’t make the mistake I made and think it means 91 cents; nope, it’s 9.1 cents.
When a copier is not being used, the LCD screen on it (the one that is nestled among the control buttons) says “Insert key card,” which really should say something like “Insert copy card.” If you insert a copy card with less than 10 cents on it (such as a card with $.091), the LCD display will continue to say “Insert key card” and no copies can be made.
It’s not clear if the vendor that maintains the copiers is going to be able to do anything about that third decimal place shown on card readers or the unhelpful “Insert key card” message on the copier’s LCD screen.
