Purchase a card for the photocopiers from either of 2 machines in Olin on Level 1 (main floor) in the copy center.

Please note that you can buy a copy card with a $5, $10, or $20 bill - but you must quickly reinsert the new card into the machine to have any funds over $1 added to the card. If someone else inserts a different card, that person will get your money!
