Printer Topics

Each workstation should have access to network, and in some cases, local printers.  Rooms with more than one workstation will have network printers while rooms with a single workstation will usually have local and network printers.
 
Local printers are attached directly to your workstation with either a USB or parallel cable.  Local printers can be installed using the Local Printer instructions that follow.
 
Network printers should be installed automatically however, it may take as much as five to ten minutes after login for all printers to install.  Staff members also have the option to manually install a network printer using "Network Printers" link below or from your desktop.  Just click on a printer name and it will be installed.

Network Printers

LOCAL PRINTERS:
 
When a local printer is attached directly to your workstation the "Found New Hardware Wizard" should launch automatically.  The first screen will ask if you want to search Windows Update for software, select "No, not this time" and click "Next".  Then select "Install from a specific location" and click "Next".  On the next screen select "Search for the best driver in these locations", Check "Include this location in the search" and type Z:\Install\Printers\KX2 in the next box.  Click "Next" and make sure Kyocera Mita FS-1010 is highlighted and click "Next" again.  If you get a warning about digitally signed drivers select "Continue Anyway".  When the wizard is completed click "Finish" and your printer should be installed.

 

DUPLEX PRINTING

Many of the newer printers, including the multifunction copiers, are capable of duplex (two-sided) printing.  This feature will be turned on by default wherever possible.  All users will be able to disable this feature but the settings will only be saved for staff members.  Student users will have this feature turned back on at login.

MULTIFUNCTION COPIERS:

 
Once you have installed a CopyStar as a network printer, you can open "Printing Preferences" and the "Finishing" tab to select staple and hole punch options and the "Job" tab to select job storage options.

The job storage feature allows users to send a print job to the Copystar printer and have the job held at the printer until it is released using the Copystar touch panel.  To change job storage options, right click on the printer icon and select "Printing Preferences".  On the "Job" tab, select "job storage (e-MPS)" and the "Job storage" option.  If you want to protect access to the job, check "Access Code" and enter any four digit number.  At the Copystar select "Printer", on the touch panel select "e-MPS", "Private / Stored", select your user name, the stored job name, the number of copies and "Printing".  If you have specified an access code you will be prompted to enter the code and the document will print.  Documents will remained stored until manually deleted by the user or, until disk space is needed for new documents.

 
The Copystar units are setup as network scanners that will send the scanned document to your email address.  Place the document in the feeder or on the copy glass, press the "Scanner" button, select "Send to email".  Under "Select Sender" choose the copier name (001).  Select either "Enter Destination" or "Address Book" to choose the recipient(s).  Each unit should be pre-programmed with the staff email addresses for your school.  In the address book, select the name of the recipient and either "TO:, CC:, of BC:".  Select "Close" and press the start button.  A scan of the document will then be sent as an attachment to the email address(es) selected.  If you have junk mail handling enabled, the email may go into your "Junk Mail" folder until you right-click on the message and select "Junk Mail" and "Trust Sender".
