Printing Guidelines
- Printing is for active Kent campus, Honors College students only
- Printing is accessible from the provided desktops and paper is provided
- Students must sign in to one of the provided desktops using their FlashLine username and password
- Students may copy documents to reprint by scanning the document to email and printing from the desktop
- Black and white printing is the default setting.
- Provided Paper: The Honors College supplies letter-size paper (8.5x11 inches) in trays 3 and 4. You may use your own legal-size (8.5x14 inches) or ledger-size paper (11x17 inches) in the bypass tray (tray 5). Notify the front desk staff or lab monitor if trays 3 or 4 run out of paper.
- Tray Use: Do not load paper in trays 1 or 2, and please do not use specialty paper (e.g., transfer paper, cardstock, etc.).
- Document Formatting: Ensure your document is formatted to the correct paper size. If it is not the printer will display an error ("print job held for resources"). Please double-check your paper size and tray settings.
- Toner Replacement: Notify the front desk staff or lab monitor if toner cartridges are empty and printing has stopped. Cartridges cannot be replaced until they are fully empty. Please ignore "low toner" messages as long as the printer continues to print.
Printing in Color
- The printer is set to print in black and white by default.
- To print in color, you must change the setting "Xerox Black and White" to "Off Use Document Color" from within the Xerox printing dialog screen as pictured below.
- To locate the Xerox printing dialog screen you will look for "more settings" and "print using system dialog...(control+shift+p)" or "printer properties" depending on the application you are printing from.
- Adjusting printing settings from other screens will not apply the printing settings.
Please note, we often find that documents being printing from a browser (Google or Microsoft documents) need downloaded to the desktop for settings to apply (your documents will be deleted when you log off the desktop.) It may also help to save your docuent to a PDF before printing.
Please see the front desk or the lab assistant on duty for assistance.
