Computer Lab Printing & Dropping Information

Printout Center Information:

1. Always Save and Always Proofread before printing.

2. Check the Printer Setup on your program. Make sure you are on the KHS Room 201 or KHS Room 201 Samsung Printer. Double check the correct printer selection in the Print dialog box.

3. Before printing, check the printer, paper and make sure the printer is On-Line (Says Ready on the screen). Press the Go button if the printer says Off-Line or Powersave, it should now say Ready. If the printer says Tray 2 Load Letter you must load the printer with paper (see steps below).

4. If there are several people waiting at the printer, wait to print your information. Please try to limit the amount of people standing at the printer to two at a time.

5. If the paper doesn’t print the first time, check for errors on the printer or on the computer screen before you print again. If you cannot find a problem, check with the teacher before you print again. Remember printed documents always come out SOMEWHERE at SOMETIME. Don’t print more than once unless you know the document print job has been canceled or deleted.

6. Stand at the printer and watch the document print in case of paper jams, ink loss and other printer problems.

7. Fix all paper jams by opening the various doors on the printer and removing jammed paper & throwing it away. You must open and close the top cover after a paper jam (every time). If there seems to be no paper jammed, open and close the top cover and press the Go button to resume the print job.

8. Throw away ALL stray papers into the recycle bin. Failure to do so could mean a loss on your Computer Responsibility Points grade. Make sure extra papers are not left by printers, computers, etc.

9. Report any serious problems to the teacher.

10. The printer center has a stapler, extra staples, paper cutter, scissors, paper clips, three hole punch, etc. for your use.

Loading Paper:

11. Take large stack (one pack or less) of paper located in the drawer and/or cupboards beneath the printer.

12. Open the paper drawer located on the front of the printer by pulling gently but firmly.

13. Fan the paper once to keep pages from sticking together.

14. Place the paper in the drawer being sure to push the corners under the metal corner holds.

15. Close the drawer to resume printing.

Dropping Assignments (Electronic Turn in):

1. Finish the practice, exercise or project you are preparing to ‘drop’.

2. Save the file to your own home drive (my documents) before saving to the shared drive.

3. Close the file and program. Open the MY COMPUTER icon on your desktop, double-click your drive (with your username), double-click you’re MY DOCUMENTS folder (do not open this directly from the desktop) and the appropriate folder that holds the file to turn in.

4. Right-click on the appropriate file to turn in and choose SEND TO – DESKTOP from the drop-down menu. Minimize or close that window.

5. Right-click the new shortcut on your desktop you just created to the file to turn in. Rename the file your LAST NAME (space) FIRST NAME.

6. Right-click the newly named shortcut and choose CUT (NOT copy).

7. Open the Shared Drive – Drop Box – Appropriate folder to turn in the document.

8. Right-click and choose PASTE in the new folder to turn in your shortcut to your completed work.

9. Continue the steps for the next exercise that is to be dropped.

10. DOUBLE CHECK by looking at all required turn-in folders and making sure YOUR NAME is in the list of drops for that exercise.
