How to setup and use our departmental printers.

We have printers setup on almost all floors of both Porter Bioscience and Gold Bioscience. Printing is being provided for free to all members of the department.

General Information

In addition to printing, all of these devices include both a scanning to email function and can serve as standard copiers. You can follow the prompts on the printer you use most to add your email to the scanner list. This is handy if you use the scanning feature often.

You will find extra paper with each printer, and tonerĀ and a waste bin in the cabinet under each printer.

Use the list below to identify the printer nearest you and complete the setup instructions.
