Employee Handbook
PRINTING
Printing at Macalester is still free!
Some places on campus have no restrictions on printing; not
so in the HRC.
If a document is not printing, first
check the printer app in the dock. Sometimes it is "stopped"
and all you have to do is click the "Resume Printing" button.
Other times some document won't print and it has jammed the queue
for all printing from that machine. Delete all the print jobs
and have the user reprint.
When a printer’s paper tray
is empty, please put a whole ream of paper in the tray. The
front edges of the paper must be underneath the metal corners
otherwise the printer tries to take more than one sheet and
jams. The supply of paper is located in the cupboard below
and to the right of the printer. When the stock get below five
reams, let Alison know so she can order more.
Then the "low Toner" warning
appears, this means the printer may only be able to print few
hundred more pages before the toner is empty. When white streaks
appear on a printed page, remove the cartridge, rock it back
and forth, shake it moderately, and replace it in the printer.
Prints should be normal. When this no longer works, it is time
to replace the toner cartridge. Replacement carrtidges are located un the cupboard under the printer.
Sometimes the printer sits and the
data light blinks for a very long time. From somewhere, someone
is trying to print something huge. The fix for this is to turn
off the printer and disconnect the black network cable. Wait
5 minutes. Then turn the printer on and when it says READY,
reconnect the network cable. If people have been trying to
print during this time, they (or you) will have to cancel their
jobs and reprint.
