PLEASE
DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR PRINT-OUTS, even
if the prints did not come out as expected or if the document was printed
in error.
This
printer is for use at Whitehead only. We are sorry, but we
cannot offer its use to those at MIT or elsewhere.
How
to use the printer
Please
print your file from the User Room (213).
There are computers right there, so you can see what is happening
as you send your file. You only have about a 50% chance that things
will go as expected, so its better to be there to cancel a job
rather than pay for numerous mistakes. In addition, you can check
to see if there is paper in the printer, which is not always
the case.
We
also recommend that you use Illustrator to create your poster files.
In conversations we've had with HP tech support, Illustrator was
identified as one of the best applications available for working
with this printer.
Timing
Allow
30-90 minutes for printing, depending on the level of detail in your
file. Please do not print at the last minute!
Cutting
The poster printer will cut your poster after 5 minutes. If you need it sooner you can press the FORM FEED AND CUT button.
Settings
It is essential that the page setup is correct before using this printer.
See the poster page for details
regarding proper setup. See also the WI
Retreat Poster page for
information on poster creation and printing.
When
All Else Fails
If you are having problems printing your poster that the web site cannot
resolve, step into room 215 and ask Tom for assistance.
If Tom is not available, try desktop support (down
the hall from 215, follow the signs to the back of the building).
