 NEW PRINTING SERVICE
Printing Services staff are installing a new printer/copier in the CLIC. Once it is fully set-up, you will be able to print from any library or computing lab computer and the job will be put in the "Follow You Printer" cue on a server in Carruthers. You will then go to a "Follow You Printer" station such as the one in the CLIC, enter your computing ID such as tj2u and then enter you eservices password. After that, you follow the instructions on the device regarding printing or copying. You will be instructed to insert your ID or Cavalier Advantage card to pay for the printing.
Printing Services will have documentation available at the printer/copier in the near future. We have also heard the unit will be configured to print or copy in color as well as black and white. Do keep in mind you can still use a computer in the CLIC to print to Ruffner, room 277. We will keep you updated about the progress of the installation.
Instructions for setting up your laptop computer to work with the "Follow You Printer" system may be found by clicking on the link that corresponds to your computer's operating system.
