Toshiba copiers

If you need to download a driver for the Toshiba copiers, their downloads page can be found here:

Windows

To have the computer remember your copier code (eg: for the Toshiba copier in 431), do the following:

  • Windows 7
    • Open Start Menu → “Printers and Devices”
    • Right-click the copier that was installed and select “Printing Preferences”
    • In the “Layout” tab select “Advanced”
    • Under the “Printer Features” header, make sure the following values are set: Department Code- Enabled; DC Digit 1-5 containing your copier code number.

Mac OS

Running the installer downloaded above is quite straightforward, and doesn't require answering any questions. You can then add a new printer using the Print Manager (using either system prefs or via the print dialog in an application.)

These directions were created for Mac OS 10.7:

  • New toshiba copier 3sw
    • Install Mac PPD gz from toshiba e-STUDIO4540C drivers page. Should distribute as a dmg image, and you'll need to walk through the installer.
  • Old toshiba copier 431
    • Install Mac PPD from toshiba for e-Studio 451c
  • Remove the printer if you tried to add it before.
  • Click plus to add new printer.
  • Choose “IP printer” tab at the top.
  • For protocol, choose “HP JetDirect”.
  • For printer name, enter “toshiba-3sw.spa.umn.edu”, or “toshiba431.spa.umn.edu”.
  • Finally, you may be asked about “installable options”. The correct settings for these printers are:
    • Finisher: Multi Position Stapler
    • Drawers: LCF

You need to enter your department printing code, otherwise the copiers will reject print jobs. The code needs to be entered when you go to print, not when you install the printer.

  • In any application, click “File”…“Print” to open a print dialog. Choose the toshiba copier.
  • In the third menu (“Copies and Pages”) choose “Print Mode”.
  • Make sure the first box is set to “Normal”, and the second is set to “Department Code - Enabled” and enter your department code in the box to the right. To avoid printing excess pages, set “Do not Print Blank Pages - Enabled”. Note that if you open the 3rd popup menu again and go to “Layout”, you may specify multiple-up (multiple pages per sheet) and duplex (double-sided) options.
  • In order for the computer to permanently remember your Department Code, you must save this as a “Preset”. In the 2nd “Presets” popup menu, choose 'Save As…“, and save it with a descriptive name indicating you've entered the Department Code (DC) for the copiers. Your computer will default to this preset on this printer in every program, from now on.
