Copier training
Copier training
Exciting news! We have new copiers!
When you are at your desktop computer, you will need to install the new printer. Watch this video to see how, and enjoy the construction racket in the background.
Installing iPrint on your desktop
Our copier guy then shows us the basics for doing a print job at the printer and doing a print release. You should know that I was trying to blur Teresa's password, but I was experiencing technical difficulties that were taking too long, so you'll notice I found a suitable substitute for blurring. It's pretty obnoxious, but that's what's happening at the beginning of the video.
You need to bring your badge to the copier to release your print job OR you will log in with your computer log in and password.
