February 5, 2016 Poster Printer Arrives!

Yesterday was an exciting day in the library! We received our first piece of equipment that was ordered thanks to a generation donation made to the library. We received our 
Canon imagePROGRAF iPF780 
poster printer!

The shipping company put it "together" and brought it down to our office. It was later in the day, so we only had time to get the ink installed and run the alignment test. 

We are counting the test as our first print job! As excited as we are, there is a lot of work we will have to do in order to allow patrons to begin utilizing the printer.

Alignment - First print job

1. Our staff has to learn all of the ins and outs to using the new machine
2. We will then have to train all of our student Informatics staff. 
3. Working with Campus IT, will be crucial in deciding how we will be able to set the printer so that patrons can print with our current payment system.
4. Setting up procedures and policies for use.
5. Making any online tutorials that we think will be necessary.
6. Ordering all of the additional paper and supplies needed.
