What are the printing and copying restrictions for Proquest ebooks?

Due to licensing and copyright regulations, printing is restricted to 20% of an ebook and copying to 5%, based on total number of pages of a given book.

In order to print or copy pages from a book, users must first take the book "on loan" (see above). The Proquest Ebook Central system keeps track of print and copying allowances automatically for each book a user has taken on loan. Remaining print/copy balances can be viewed for each ebook on the detailed record for the book. The Ebook Print Screen will also tally your remaining print balance while you print.

If you try to reprint a page you already printed (previously deducted from a book's 20% print quota), the reprinted page will not further reduce your print quota balance.
