Here at the U of I, the cost is .10-.20 per page on laserwriter plus
printers.  The machines take magnetic cards, which also operate Xerox
machines.Each card can hold up to 400 ticks.  Vending machines sell
cards with 5 ticks for $1.  A card can hold up to 400 ticks total.
The quantity discount is something like:

	1-100 ticks	10 ticks/dollar
 	101-200 ticks	14 ticks/dollar
	201-399 ticks	17 ticks/dollar
	400 ticks	20 ticks/dollar

My card says "Dual Office Supplies, 2411 Bond St, University Park, IL
60466, (312) 534-1500".  Perhaps these people (the card sellers) know
about the vending machines.
