READ: PRINTER FEE POLICY FOR DEPARTMENTAL NETWORKED PRINTERSSpecial Printing Arrangements for accredited GSRs
Invoices for printing will be emailed on or about the last day of the semester to your EML account, or the account you gave when registering for your Windows access. If you are leaving earlier, you may request a statement from the System Administrators prior to the normal date.
Outstanding charges from a previous semester or summer session will not be re-invoiced or included in subsequent invoices. Accounts with outstanding charges will have printing rights removed two weeks after the start of the next period of instruction.
Paper for the printer in 608A is usually stocked in the room, or it can be obtained from 608B, the copier room. If 608B is locked, ask one of the departmental staff for assistance. For problems with paper jams, or if the toner is low, ask for assistance in 687/689 or 649 Evans Hall.
The printer feeds paper from the bottom tray (3) first, then from tray 2.
The paper feeds through Tray 2 from Tray 3, so do not remove
Tray 2 if the machine is printing. You can load paper into Tray 3 when the machine
is printing from Tray 2. It is usually best to load a full pack of paper into
an empty tray. Do not include dog-eared or creased paper. The LaserJet 4250 will
ask you to confirm the paper size by pressing the small green button on the control
panel marked with a curved arrow 
.
The Park Avenue printer is set to halt printing at a 'toner out' signal. Print jobs will continue to accumulate in the print queue, and will clear when the printer toner is replaced. You can check the print queue (Start -> Settings -> Printers, double click the print queue) to see where your job is placed. Cancelled jobs are credited to your printing quota.
Your printer usage is monitored, and you will incur charges (see Printer Fee Policy). To find out how many pages you've used, run the Charges shortcut on the Desktop. Alternatively, open the file T:username.prd where 'username' is your logon username. Registered department GSRs will be able to use print queues charged to a project account.
The default printing mode is Duplex, but single side may be selected if required. An N-up printer driver is available for printing multiple pages on a single side of paper for applications that do not support this function directly.
Some applications (Word for example) allow you to N-up print from the application. This will reduce your printing charges as the accounting system only sees pages after the application has finished with them. The Distiller printer driver will also N-up, so you can create a PDF for a similar result.
The following print queues are available on all systems:
- parkave - This is the general purpose print queue. The default settings are full page, portrait, duplex, printing starts as soon as the first page is ready.
- pa2up - This is a variant of parkave which is configured for 2-up printing, duplex. This is best done from an application where possible.
- distiller - This 'print queue' actually generates a PostScript file for use with the Distiller application in order to make PDF files.
- JSTOR - This queue shares settings with parkave, but the job is kept on the print server until all pages are available. With some network sources (JSTOR is an example), documents arrive slowly. This can cause delays in printing at busy times. Using the JSTOR queue allows other jobs to precede yours, and yours prints faster once it starts.
If you encounter any problems with your use of Park Avenue, send email to . Do not send messages to the Econometrics Laboratory (i.e., do not send messages to trouble, manager, consult, or postmaster as you would if you encountered problems with one of the Suns).
