Printing to Toshiba Copiers

To print to the Toshiba copiers in rooms 358 (Astronomy) or 431 (FTPI), first download and install the drivers from Toshiba. You find find them at this web site, under “color copier”:

The 358 copier is an eStudio 4511, and 431 is an eStudio 451C

Windows

These directions are for Windows XP (these may not be correct, we're checking…)

  • 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.

Mac OS

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.
