| Why are we required to do this? |
| Use of department budget codes is being phased out in favor of individual copier code |
| Print Management equipment will be installed and the individual counts from the copiers will be merged with the individual counts from the desktop printers |
| To eliminate "user errors" and 'down time' of machines | |
|
| How do I get my code number? |
When you finish this training, your name will be sent to Mark and he will email you your code number via school email. Write it in several places. If you forget it, you must contact Mark Shaw at mshaw@eicc.edu to get your code number. |
|
| What if I don't have school email? |
See Kathleen Conway for the form for you to fill out to apply for school email. It is being required of all adjunct instructors beginning fall 06. 563-441-4178 |
|
| How do I start? |
| Check paper supply, if you need to add paper, it is critical that the paper be fluffed and aligned perfectly as it is loaded. Almost 90% of the paper jams are caused by incorrectly or sloppily stacked paper. If you find it difficult to load paper neatly, it is better to just load 1 ream rather than multiple reams. |
| In addition, most downtime and/or damage to the copier machines result from improperly clearing paper jams. See the section: "What if the paper jams?" |
| Enter printer code, press enter |
| Put material to be copied face up in the feed tray OR on the glass face down | |

| What is on the Image Adjustment tab? |
| Quality |
| Normal |
| Photo |
| Lighten/darken |
| Use half-tone for copies from the newspaper |
| Bound Originals |
| Left or right page only |
| Both pages at same time | |
|
| What is on the Output Format tab? |
| Transparencies |
| Can choose to put dividers in between your transparencies (Can choose either a blank divider or a divider with printing) | |
|
| How do I make a transparency? |
| Get transparency from department coordinator |
| Put page to be copied face down on glass or topmost tray above the glass. |
| Put clear transparency sheet in tray 5. It must be in this tray because the machine uses a lower heat for transparencies; otherwise, the machine heat could melt the transparency. |
| Put transparency's white edge facing up (you can feel it) and in towards the machine |
| After putting the transparency in tray 5, a screen will display asking for confirmation in describing the type of material being loaded in the tray. Make sure the description is "Transparency" in order to reduce the amount of heat used in making this copy. |
| After you have transparency in tray 5 a screen about transparencies will appear |
| Select tray 5 |
| Choose confirm |
| Choose save | |
|
| Can I print on colored paper? |
| Yes, get it from your department coordinator or from the print shop. |
| Open tray 1! |
| Do not use tray 6! That tray should always be dedicated to white paper. Even with the best of intentions, colored paper loaded in tray 6 is many times forgotten about and the next person who uses the copier gets copies on colored paper instead of white. This often results in duplicate copies needing to be created. |
| Add colored paper to top of stack |
| Print |
| Remove extra colored sheets when finished | |
|
| Can I use this machine to scan something to a computer in the adjunct work room? |
| Yes |
| Choose All Services. |
| Choose Network Scanning |
| Choose adjunct 1 for adjunct computer 1, nearest copy room door. Other computers are also connected, choose by computer number/staff member name |
| Choose Output Format |
| Choose Multi-page TIFF |
| Save |
| Choose Image Adjustment |
| Choose Resolution |
| Choose 300 x300 |
| Save |
| Green start button |
| Document will appear on the computer in the adjunct workroom. | |

| Help! I want to stop the machine! |
| Choose job status |
| Highlight your printing job when it appears in the screen |
| Choose delete |
| Choose confirm |
| Choose features to get back to main screen |
| Do this quickly | |
|
| What if the paper jams? *!#! |
| Follow the prompt on the screen as to where the jam is located |
| Clear the paper IF it can be removed easily, without pulling or tearing the paper. If force is used to clear the jam (force being defined as enough force to tear the paper), it is likely damage can result resulting in copier downtime. |
| Turn a knob rather than trying to pull the paper out forcefully |
| Parts of the machine can be broken by rough clearing of jams! |

|
| Can I save time or money by doing copies a different way? |
Yes, send your print requests digitally. You can send files to the Print shop to be printed or you can send files directly to the high speed copiers located in the Print shop, Arts & Science office, Kahl, and Applied Technology office. See the next two sections below. |
