Seven Simple Rules for using the Library Color MFDs (Multi-Function Devices)

1 – Limit printouts to fewer than 50 copies. (The Affinity Print Shop is equipped to handle larger print jobs.)

2 – Pick up printouts promptly, especially those containing personal names or other confidential information.

3 – Consider scanning documents and emailing them to yourself (or others) rather than using paper if this would work for you and your colleagues. (See library staff for help.)

4 – Use black and white unless color is absolutely necessary for your print job.

5 – Print on both sides of the page if appropriate (again, library staff can help).

6 – If you use the MFD for a print job and then need to print something to your usual printer afterwards, please make sure that your computer is set to print to your usual printer. (This will ensure one printout for you instead of ten orphaned printouts going into the recycling bin.)

7 – If you access the computer room after hours, please turn off lights and lock the door when you leave.

Contact Library Staff or I.S. Staff if you need help using the computers and/or MFD in the library computer rooms.

Thank you!
