General Guidelines
March 2011
The Department has a Toshiba estudio655 copier/printer/scanner. This machine is located in the “Copy Room” and works as a networked printer. It also has scanning capability. This machine is able to collate, staple, and make transparencies. Faculty are encouraged to utilize this resource. While the Department still maintains the printers in
STRO 460, the new Toshiba allows another option for faculty. The following guidelines should enable efficient work:
1. Keep in mind the Department must pay for each copy made, including paper, ink cartridges, staple cartridges, and an annual “service agreement.” Please be a good steward of this machine and avoid wasting resources.
2. It is important you make certain documents are “perfect” before running a large number of copies. For example, don’t run 50 copies, discover something is not right, and then run 50 more.
3. The “Copy Room” door will remain open during the work day due to excessive heat build-up in that room.
4. Department Office Staff will keep the “Copy Room” stocked with paper.
5. Each faculty member is assigned a code for using the machine. This code creates an account for you and allows the Department Office to keep track of copies made by individuals. If you don’t have a code, see Sue or Christy to establish your access code.
6. Faculty may do their own copying for professional and teaching needs.
HOWEVER, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO CREATE THEIR
COURSE MATERIALS IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT, POST THEM ON A
BLACKBOARD WEBSITE, AND ASK STUDENTS TO DOWNLOAD ON
THEIR OWN. Using the computer to distribute course materials saves the
Department money!!
7. Faculty are allowed 2,000 “self-made” copies and printed pages per semester on the Toshiba machine. Classroom materials (i.e. syllabi, tests, one or two-page handouts, etc.- NOT articles or longer handouts for class) copied by Department
Office Staff do NOT count against an individual’s
