GJSMS Printing Policies & Procedures
For Printer trouble, installation, or to request replacement toner cartridgescontact Anna Conner or Steve Barth. Include the printer location and model or cartridge number. DO NOT open printer panels to troubleshoot or replace toner yourself!
Deliver EMPTY ink/toner cartridges to the Recycling Center in the Library Lobby.
All teachers should have the Copyroom Canon and Faculty Room network printers installed on their workstations. Some staff in various offices or non-classroom locations may have other network printers installed.
Other hallway network printers or stand-alone inkjet printers may already be installed on classroom computers; however, the school will no longer be purchasing ink/toner for those printers. Check with hallway colleagues about availability of ink before printing.
Use these Directions for Configuring Copyroom Canon for Network Printingto set up your computer for sending print jobs to your Canon Mailbox. Your Dept.ID/PIN and Mailbox # were provided to you on a paper copy. Please file this in a safe place for future reference.
See Donna Hutchinson regarding your Dept.ID/PIN or copy limits.
If you forget your Mailbox #, login to the Canon with your Dept.ID/PIN, select Access Stored Files > Mailbox, and scroll down to find your mailbox # beside your name. Canon print jobs are retained in your Mailbox for 24 hours.
Set your DEFAULT printer byopening Devices & Printers from the Start menu, right-click on the printer, and click Set as Default Printer.
All staff are expected to follow the GJSMS Printing Policies listed below, and to ensure student compliance with school printing policies.
GJSMS Tech Committee is able to generate detailed usage reports for all network printers: Faculty Room, Library, Libary Lab, Lab 59, Lab 22, ALC, etc. Usage reports include the following information about jobs sent to the printer: date, time, sender's BCPS username, title of the document/page, and number of copies.
Any evidence of non-compliance with GJSMS Printing Policies will be referred to the Principal. Network printers may be uninstalled from non-compliant users' computers; those users would have to send all print jobs to the Copyroom Canon .
GJSMS Printing Policies for Staff & Students:
Only school-related printing is permitted. No personal printing of any kind is allowed.
ALL large print jobs (more than a few pages) MUST be sent to the Copyroom Canon, not to a network/library/lab printer. This includes IEP's, Grade Reports, Curriculum Guide Units, etc. Students should not print lengthy documents that they are unlikely to read in their entirety.
Always do a Print Preview to determine the length of the document, and then print only the pages needed. Look for a "Printer Friendly" button or option on database articles or Web pages. Direct students to follow these procedures as well when they need to print.
Consider having students copy their computer lab work to your class Drop folders on the Students drive for grading, rather than printing it out.
Do not print confidential material to a public printer (e.g. the Library or a Computer Lab)
Do not print multiple copies of a document to a network printer.
Do not print PowerPoint slides with backgrounds; print Handouts or Notes pages.
Color printing is generally permitted only for display items (e.g. posters) or publications (e.g. brochures); print in grayscale unless color is absolutely necessary. Color printing is available in the Library, Library Lab, Lab 59, and Mini Lab 22 (Special Ed only).
Avoid taking other users' print-outs by accident. If you do, please return these to the printer immediately.
Do not print un-necessarily! PAY ATTENTION to where you are printing and PICK UP your print-outs in a timely manner.
