Sumario:The article presents an analysis on the school duplicating equipments. Materials have evolved, since introduction of the new system, from the standard, preprinted variety to innovative, teacher-produced and student-produced papers. Typical school duplicating equipment, clustered in untidy centers, one for each building, have disappeared from the Poway Unified School District, California. Gone, too, are the fuzzy arithmetic papers, the unevenly splotched English tests, the reams of assignment sheets gradually fading to an unreadable blur by the end of the term. Instead, a highly efficient, organized copy center in the school district office now produces attractive classroom materials for many schools, and all office materials and district forms. The school's transportation department makes pickups and deliveries of printing materials during the morning, noon, and afternoon bus runs. Thus, although the publications department guarantees a 24-hour printing schedule, materials are often returned in four, eight, or 12 hours. Rush requests receives immediate attention and can be furnished on a while-you-wait basis.
