Copier in CS Building Mailroom
The copier in the mail-room of the CS Building can be used as a printer in limited circumstances. The guidelines are listed here and were developed with the department manager and the department chair. Due to technical limitations, we cannot enforce all of these guidelines via technology and end-users must police themselves.
- A person standing at the machine has priority and any remote printing must respect this.
- Other than very occasional and small (e.g., 1 page) jobs, all use of the copier as a printer must take place outside regular business hours (9am-5pm, M-F). Note that a typical walk-up user making copies will initiate several jobs. Submitted print jobs will interleave with the walk-up user's jobs.
- The copier should not be used as a printer for jobs that can be reasonably printed on a printer. For example, it's OK to print an 11x17 sheet but not OK to print handouts to take advantage of the stapler.
- If you print to the copier, you must check the copier ASAP after submitting the job
- This is in case your job gets interleaved with a walk-up user
- This is to avoid a situation where a queue of jobs backs up due to running out of paper and the next walk-up user adds paper and then must wait for a print job.
- If you need multiple, stapled copies of identical documents, first print them on a printer and then walk-up to the copier and make stapled copies.
When/if you have a need to use the copier as a printer, contact the department manager for approval and then contact CS Staff for instructions on setting up your computer.
