Printing at Kresge Library
From Kresge Library
Questions? Please contact Ross Printing Support (rossprinting@umich.edu) first, and kresge_library@umich.edu second.
We have a new printing system at the Ross School that is launching for the Fall Term, 2009. Here are some hints to more effectively setup and use the new printers.
[edit] Contacting Ross Printing and Laptop Support
- Ross Printing Support can be reached via email at rossprinting@umich.edu
- Ross Laptop Support can be reached via email at rosslaptophelp@bus.umich.edu
- They are located in the Student Business Center (R0430) on the lower level of the Ross Building.
- They are currently open Monday through Friday 10am-5pm. They are closed Saturday and Sunday.
[edit] Using the new printing system
Instructions for the new Xerox Machines
- The drivers for the Ross-FollowU Printer will be installed by visiting this location:
- Windows (from the Run dialog Window): "\\bus-print01.bus.umich.edu\ross-followu"
- Mac (from system preferences): "smb://bus-print01.bus.umich.edu/Ross-FollowU" & select Xerox WorkCentre 7655.
- On Ross machines (along the back wall), you should have the FollowU printer as the default. In a small percentage of the time, the default printer shows as OneNote. Please change it (using the printing drop down) to FollowU.
Hints and Tips
- When you send print jobs to the Queue, you can print them up at any printer in the school.
- You will release them by swiping your MCARD. If you do not have your MCARD, you can release the job by logging in with your UMID (the 8 digit number). You can ask for assistance at the Library Circulation Desk.
- Be sure to log out when you are done.
[edit] Scanning documents into the new printers
- The system provides an easy and secure option to scan documents on the printers.
- Scanned documents are no longer saved on the "R:" Drive.
- To retrieve a scanned document, go to your iMpact account.
- In iMpact, click on "My Site" link in the upper right hand corner
- Find "Personal Documents" on the left.
- This folder will have the scans.
[edit] Printing in Color
- Color printing is available on the printers at Ross (please note that they incur a higher cost than black and white printing).
- When you have the printer dialog box, choose Properties when you have selected "Ross-FollowU" Printer
- Change Output Color from "Black and White" to "Color"
- Please note that the printers are NOT setup for hole punch or stapling (despite the drop down boxes for those).
[edit] Printing from public computers at Kresge (that do not require a login)
- We have a number of terminals near the entrance to the library on the second floor that do not require a login. There are a total of 4 public workstations and 8 database stations.
- Printing is no longer possible from these computers. You may save documents onto a flash drive OR email them to yourself.
[edit] Printers at the Kresge Library and the Ross School
- There are three printers for student use at the Kresge Library.
- Two printers located on the 2nd floor in room K2347 (behind the open seating at Kresge).
- One printer on the 4th floor, next to the periodical stacks and near the Kresge Classroom (K4354).
