Subject: New Public Printers

Just wanted to inform you that Systems has replaced 3 aging CMS printers with 3 brand new Kyocera FN-4000DN printers (2 on 2nd floor and 1 on 4th floor). We have acquired 4 printers and the last one is reserved for the 24 hour lab. The new printers are faster and better print quality than the old ones, but the print process is basically the same. At this moment, we cannot provide more than 4 printers because we don’t have enough accessories like cash box, card reader, etc to go with them.

FYI.

  • Laptop users cannot tap into our CMS system to print because of technical and other issues. We are looking into this possibility in the next system.  

  • Current CMS system does NOT take the new $5 bills.

  • Quick Lookup computers have NO restrictions whatsoever and require NO authentication (NO BroncoName/Password required, but a generic logon is needed by Windows XP). The generic logon information will display if someone logs off the computer.  

  • Quick Lookup computers are almost identical to Learning Common computers in terms of software applications.  

  • All public computers display their logon information on the screen.  

  • All public computers start up automatically at 7:25 in the morning unless the clock is off and they will go to sleep mode in 20 minutes.

  • The quickest way to wake up a computer is press the Enter key on the keyboard. If that fails, try powering on the computer again.  

  • 5 flatbed scanners are located at Productivity Center.

  • 4th floor computers are the slowest of all. 5th and 6th floor computers are identical and fairly new.

  • Students can easily find their print jobs at the print release by print job description, Logon (e.g. TQHE), workstation number, time printed...  

 Let me know if you need more information,

 Tim

Photocopying and printing prices are on the Photocopying and Printing Page (It is hard to find via the home page: it's Home Page > Borrowing and Circulation > Photocopying and Printing). When you put in a dollar bill to get a copy card, you only get 50 cents worth of copying on it.

The campus lacks a "one card" system so the copy cards purchased in the library don't work anywhere else on campus.

The Library offers no fax, color printing or color photocopying , and no oversize photocopying, either. You can send the patron to Bronco Copy and Mail in the Student Center (building 35) for these services (except for scanning).

Bronco Copy and Mail will also print students' word documents from disk ($1 per disk plus regular copying charges).  Scanning is supposed to be available in the student computer lab called The Computing Commons (98-C5-13 ) . Printing (both black and white and color) is available from the computing commons and the Campus Center lab (97-121).
