Print/Plot/Scan
Access to network plotters and printers depends on your MIT ID swipe card being set up in the print system. Anyone requiring use of these devices must do this once initially: Go to one of the three Xerox multifunction printers on the 4th floor, tap your ID badge on the card reader, then enter your Kerberos username and password when prompted (note this prompt only appears if you are not already registered).
If you need to install the Papercut client on your own computer, click on the Installation tab and follow the instructions for your operating system. If you’re using an MIT-owned computer it will likely already have the print software installed.
Printers and Plotters
Naming Convention
The first character in the printer name denotes multifunction (M) or plotter (P), followed by location of the device (building – room number). Example: M07-433 is a Multifunction (M) printer in Building 7, Room 433 (7-433). Multifunction devices support B&W and Color printing, photocopying and scanning.
Configuration
All printers (except plotters) support Duplex (2-sided) printing. Allowable paper size: Letter (8.5″x11″) and Tabloid (11″x17″). No A3, A4, etc as these stop all jobs from printing. Plotters are stocked with paper 36″ wide (details below). Color printing and plotting should be limited to final, presentation-grade output, not drafts.
