ePrint/eCopy FAQs General FAQs

What is ePrint?

ePrint is a digital-to-print service that enables you to purchase print access to content. With ePrint, you can scale your purchases to cost-effective advantage, i.e. you can print an entire eBook, selective chapters or even single pages as determined appropriate by your reference needs.

It must be borne in mind that Taylor & Francis will accept no liability for :

  1. The ability of your PC/device to render print as expected
  2. The suitability of the printer, ink or paper

What is eCopy?

To prevent copyright infringements and ensure legitimate usage of authentic content, copying text or any other means of data transfer is not currently endorsed. The eCopy service overcomes this issue. eCopy is a cost-effective text reproduction service that allows the Ctrl C and Ctrl V operations for copying and pasting text. With eCopy you obtain a working soft copy of the page, which you can modify and print as and when imperative.

What are the advantages of ePrint/eCopy?

Reference needs rarely require the complete resources of an entire book. A page or a few chapters, drawn from various books illustrate a practical reference scenario. The ePrint/eCopy service fulfills your need for selective content and enables cost-effective micro-purchases from eBooks of choice. With ePrint/eCopy:

  1. You purchase only the pages or chapters requisite for your research needs instead of buying or subscribing to the whole book.
  2. You obtain a persistent copy of the required content for any time reading.
  3. All ePrint/eCopy purchases are debited through ‘My Wallet’, your personal online account thus saving you processing costs that are imminent during eCommerce transactions.

What are the operating rules for ePrint/eCopy?

You can avail the ePrint/eCopy facility subject to certain norms. This is done to prevent misuse of content and protect it from unethical access.

  1. Every browse session lasts 15 minutes.
  2. You are granted browse access for three consecutive 15-minute sessions for the same book, after which, if you have still not logged an ePrint/eCopy purchase, you will be denied access to the book for seven days.
  3. An advisory prompt, two minutes prior to the close of your session, will recommend you to add the page/chapter/book to your ePrint/eCopy queue. You will be logged out as soon as your session expires.
  4. The ability to redeem the stipulated number of browse sessions [before being denied access] is directly proportional to the number of times you have made an ePrint/eCopy purchase. In effect, if you have made a purchase in your second and third browse sessions, this means you have redeemed two additional sessions for browsing.
  5. You are allowed to copy a maximum of 10 pages in each session.
  6. The maximum number of pages you can add to the eCopy queue from a single book, irrespective of the number of sessions, is 30.

What happens if my printer is not connected or my page prints incorrectly?

All your print purchases will be available at the Download Centre in the ‘ePrint Bookshelf’ for seven days. In the event of any problem impeding successful reproduction of your purchases in print, you can visit the Print bookshelf for a repeat of the print process.

When I try to copy the page, only the header gets copied. Why?

The Copy window is divided into two frames: the top header and the page content. To copy the page, make sure that you click on the lower frame i.e. the one containing the content and then use the Ctrl A key combination to select the whole content.

Top

If the page I want to copy contains images, can I copy the images alongwith the text?

Yes. A page purchased for copying is available for comprehensive copying. You can copy the page as it is i.e with the text and the image. Please note that for copying pages having images, use an editor that supports images like MS Word or MS Powerpoint.

Top

Is there a limit to the number of pages I can copy?

Yes. You can copy a maximum of 30 pages from any eBook.

Top

I selected a wrong page, can I get a refund?

No. Since you have full access to the page before you add it to your ePrint/eCopy queue, it is assumed that you have made an informed decision. We regret that transactions of this nature cannot be refunded.

How is the commerce conducted for ePrint/eCopy?

All ePrint and eCopy transactions are conducted through ‘My Wallet’, your personal online account. With My Wallet you save on processing costs that are imminent during eCommerce transactions.
