Back to Technical FAQ

Instructions to use the copier:

1. Acquire a copy card or PIN number. Faculty should see the undergraduate secretary for this, students should see the graduate secretary.
2. A card-swipe/keypad input device is mounted to the left of the copier as you stand in front at the copier control panel.
3. On the copier LCD panel is an image of a mag-card and arrow (and international insert card message)
4. Swipe your card or enter your PIN number (and press the "enter" button) on the card-swipe/keypad input device mounted on the wall.
5. If your card/PIN is valid then the LCD control panel of the copier will display all the typical copying options.
6. When you are done hit the "clear" button on the card-swipe/keypad input device to exit the copier.
7. The international "Insert Card" image will reappear on the copier LCD panel.

Copier Access and Usage:

1. The copier on the first floor has access control and usage accounting enabled.
2. Faculty should get two cards: One for personal/research use and one for all course (and all courses you teach) copying.
3. Students can pay a $10 deposit to recieve the access card (refunded when you return 100% of the copy card, in one piece, to the dept).
4. There is no quota. Avoid unnecessary copying/abuse of the copier or someone will be looking at the resulting data.
5. TA's should see the course professor to make copies for a course.
6. Access Cards do not expire. We expect student access cards to be returned when they graduate and the deposit will be refunded.
