We now have two new Toshiba printers/copiers in the Birck Center in BRK 1022 in BRK 1222. IKON copier still in place during this transition in BRK 2020 [to be replaced by mid-September] *DEPARTMENT ID NUMBERS -- NEW IDs for Toshiba copiers* You will need your professor's permission to access the Birck printers: please contact your professor for your group ID number. Use your old code for the IKON copier in 2020 until it is replaced. *SET UP -- PC users* If you are using a PC and were set up to use the printer/copier in either 1022 or 1222, you shouldn’t have to change any settings. Be sure that you’ve selected the correct printer in which to print. If you need assistance, visit “Instructions for installing the printer” [ http://eng.purdue.edu/jump/47a2e4] on ecn’s knowledge database. For further assistance, contact dpsite(a)ecn.purdue.edu. Instructions for setting up this new department code on your computers is provided at ecn’s knowledge database [http://eng.purdue.edu/jump/47cce9] *SET UP -- Mac users* Visit ecn’s knowledge base for the Toshiba print drivers you’ll need for both types of copiers and following the instructions to load the printer to your system. [Visit https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/PrintingtoBRKBirckCa/ and https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/MacPrintingAddingaTos/] For further assistance, contact machelp(a)ecn.purdue.edu. To set the department code, in any application chose file, print; drill down to print mode; change the box to “enable” job accounting and enter your pre-assigned code; save preset as “job accounting enabled.” If you always use this setting, you’ll be able to print to the printer without entering a job code. *TRAINING* FAX from your desktop from the new copiers/printers! Scan to e-mail or jump drive! Print from desktop or jump drive! Learn more . . .
