Printing from Department Windows systems

Changing the Default Printer

All the major departmental printers are pre-installed on the Physics windows computers. However, the “default printer” is set randomly, so you will need to set your preferred default printer.

  • From the Start menu, go to Settings, and choose “Devices and Printers”
  • Find the printer you want to use by default, and click the right mouse button over it. This will open a menu. Choose “Set as Default Printer”.

Printing to Toshiba copiers

To print to the Toshiba copiers (such as the Astronomy copier, 358c), you need to supply your Department Code.

  • Print to the printer as you would any other printer, but note your job will not come out yet
  • Log in to the printer: 358 or 431
  • Click the “Job Status” Tab, and click the box next to your job in the list.
  • click the “release” button. A pop-up window will ask for your department code.
  • Type your department code into the “Department Code” box and press the “Enter” button.
  • Your job should now print normally.
