To print to the Toshiba copiers in rooms 358 (Astronomy) or 431 (FTPI), first download and install the drivers from the copier itself, by going to its built-in web page and clicking on the “Install software” link at the bottom left:

• 358 copier
• 431 copier

Downloading the drivers in this way seems only to be needed for Macintosh; Windows users can proceed to the instructions below.

The software install window which pops up has different tabs for downloading the Windows or Mac installers - download whichever one you need.

Note - the copiers and download location are only accessible from the Tate Lab wired network (they aren't currently accessible from the wireless network).

These directions are for Windows XP.

• First, modify the Windows firewall settings.
• Use the “Add Printer” wizard to add the new printer…
• Choose “A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer” and click Next
• Choose “Connect to this printer” and enter “\\toshiba431\ps3” or “\\toshiba358\ps3”, and click Next.
• After a short pause, the new print queue is almost ready for use:

Now you need to set up your new print queue, to tell it your department code.

• First open a print dialog and choose the toshiba print queue. Click the “Properties” button next to the printer name.
• In the properties window, choose the “Print job” tab, and enter your department code in the “Department” field.

Running the installer downloaded above is quite straightforward, and doesn't require answering any questions. Once the driver has been installed, you can add a new printer using the Print Manager.

These directions are for Mac OS 10.4:

• Click “Add”.
• Choose “IP printer”
• For protocol, choose “HP JetDirect”
• For printer name, enter “toshiba431.spa.umn.edu”, or “toshiba358.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.
