In an effort to be more environmentally - 
and economically - 
responsible; The Evans Library has installed two new Print Management Systems to help cut down on the amount of wasted ink & paper on campus.
responsible; The Evans Library has installed two new Print Management Systems to help cut down on the amount of wasted ink & paper on campus.The four printers have be relocated closer to the Reference Desk. They are all still labeled.
Printer 1 and Printer 2...
...and Printer 3 and Printer 4.
The two new systems allow students to "release" their print jobs. It's a simple process.
Here's the steps to print:
1. Push print at your computer (just like you always do).
2. There is a sign next to your computer that will tell you which computer you are at and to which printer your job will be sent.
3. Go to the printer. Next to each set of printers there is a monitor and and a mouse.
4. You should see your computer name, document title, number of pages, and some other information to help you identify your print job.
5. Highlight your print job and hit the print button - that's it!
REMEMBER: You can always ask us for help.
If you printed your document more than once or printed a 75 page document that you only needed the first few pages of - not to worry! Just leave the print job in the system and it will delete itself after an hour or so.

The staff at the library understands that printing is a vital service available to students at FMCC. We know you need to do it (we all do). So, we are not waggin' our fingers at you - we're just trying to make the the library a more "Earth Friendly" place.
I dont understand the difference from before, but if it is saving Paper and Ink its a good way to save trees and help our enviroment. The steps sound easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the library is going green! And that is a great thing!! But i do feel say during lunch hour when the library is packed is this going to be q quick and effective way for students, or will this cause conflict? Idk but we will see I guess. It does sound like a great way to save paper and ink, I know i've seen students print out a 40 page document and throw half of the pages away. It was a shame and hopefully this system will work?

Well it's a good thing that the library is trying to save on paper but some students I belive will not be as resourceful and ask for help if they dont understand how to fix the computers so they dont print everything out. I hope this method works better than what students use now, because I have seen many students printing out multiple pages when they only need a few.
