Consumables

Please please please: replace toner when needed (shake and replace first - sometimes this gets another 1000 pages!) - and put the old cartridge and box on Bob or Yasmeen's desk so that we can re-order well before your next major deadline.

MacOS: instructions for setting up a printer

1. Open "System Preferences" and select "Print & Fax"
2. Click on the plus sign (+) below the printers list
3. Click on "IP" in the top panel
4. Paste IP adress (e.g. 155.198.151.124)
5. Wait until it says "Valid and complete address"
6. Click "Add" and then "Continue" on the next screen

Alternative method: (doesn't seem to work for some people/versions)

1. Open Utilities -> Printer Setup Utility
2. Select "Default Browser"
3. Enter "Room 520" in search box
4. Find and select printer
5. Click OK a few times

At least one of our printers (room 520) will wait for you to press a button on the actual printer before printing a "Letter" document on A4 paper if you are using a mac. If your Mac has "Letter" paper as default in "Page Setup" for all applications, you can change this: Go to Applications → Utilities → Printer Setup Utility → Preferences. Change the default paper option to A4.

It should work... please don't all print a test-page!
