Troubleshooting and hints.
The biggest problem that stops printing is having the wrong paper size set. Make
sure in your printing preferences your paper is set to US Letter 8” x 11 ½“
PDF printing can take a long time to process by the printer, particularly if
there are lots of images. If you need to print lots of PDF try and do it in a
time when the printer is not being used.
You can only print when you’re in the building. It won’t work from home.
To save paper and the environment try using the duplex (print on both sides) and
use the layout for 2,4,6 etc pages to a sheet. This is good for draft printing.
If the printer goes crazy or you want to cancel a print job press the ‘job
reset’ button on the printer.
See Jan at reception if you need paper.
Remember, the printer is YOUR printer. Don’t abuse it. Don’t waste paper.
