Double-side, Staple, & Hole Punch—Cool New Printer Features

The new Xerox printer in the Vera Bracken Library has some excellent new features to help you compile/print documents more efficiently. The printer has the ability to print double-sided (duplex), staple, and hole punch print jobs. You can select one or more of these options for any print job that you perform in the library.

How do you do this? Follow these simple steps once you have selected the option to print your file:

1) Select Properties . . . in the Printer dialogue window.




2) Select the desired options (i.e., double-sided, stapled, or hole punched) from the drop-boxes on the right-hand side of the \\alchemy\library_5030 Properties dialogue window. [To see the options more clearly, click the image below.]





3) Select the OK button once your print options are selected in each of the two proceeding dialogue windows.

4) You will be prompted to confirm the print job one final time. Here you can select Print or Cancel.




5) Collect your printing if you selected Print, or return to your file if you selected Cancel.

NOTE: Even when you print double-sided, your print account will be deducted $.20—it is still $.10/side.

If you encounter any problems with printing, please see the Information Desk.

Printing Issues

As many of our patrons have encountered, we are still having printing issues in the Vera Bracken Library. Some of things that users have encountered include:

• no printing from the classroom
  
• periodic (or no) printing from Drop-in and Reference stations
• insufficient administration privileges to print
• printer cannot be found
  
• prints a page or two of a multiple page file and stops
• prints several successful documents, then print services stop while under the same user profile
  
• will print the document single sided, but not duplex it
• Java update window (not printing related)
  
• etc.

These are all known issues and the Information Technology Services (ITS) department is continuing to investigate the issue. If you are encountering problems, please see the Information Desk in the library and we will investigate. Failing a resolution to the issue, we will print the document for you from our computer.

Thank you for your patience as ITS works towards a solution.

Printing Off-line - March 26th (9 p.m.-11 p.m.)

Information Technology Services will be performing routine maintenance on the print system from about 9:oo p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on the evening of Wednesday, March 26th. During this time, student and publicly accessible printers will off-line. This means that no printing can be done in the Vera Bracken Library or in the computer labs via the student print accounts and/or print cards.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
