Computer Lab Printing Instructions
The Dell Laser Printer in the CS Computer Lab (Engineering A0410) supports duplex printing, i.e. printing on both sides of the paper. It can be set to print either duplex or non-duplex through the "Printing Preferences..." window. By default, the printer will print all documents in duplex format.
The printer should be setup automatically after you logged in. If not, please come by Engineering A0311 and ask for assistance.

Notes:
If the printer is not functioning paper jam, out of toner, etc..., please contact Main Office or ask for assistance in Engineering A0311. Do not attempt to open the printer.
Some Important Rules
- Do not use the printer as a copier to make multiple printouts. Toner is a very costly resource;
- Do not re-use paper. Instead, use new, regular printing paper only. Used paper often causes jams and will eventually damage the printer;
- Use printers for your CS TA/RA/GA or CS course-related printing only;
- If the toner is low, please report to the CS main office (Engineering A0311).
