Printing

We have setup two new multifunction, b&w/color printers in ETC replacing the existing printers. Please see details below for how to print, copy and scan including actions required for MacOS users. Since we are charged per page, please utilize color printing and copying only when necessary.

• ME-ETC-5226-Canon-1

  • 70-page per minute model
  • Configured to support 8.5 x 11 (letter) and 11 x 17 (ledger/tabloid)
  • 50-sheet staple, 2/3 hole punch
  • 200-page single-pass duplexing automatic document feeder (scanner/copier)
    
    

• ME-ETC-5226-Canon-2

  • 40-page per minute model
  • Configured to support 8.5 x 11 (letter) and 8.5 x 14 (legal)
  • 50-sheet staple, 2/3 hole punch
  • 200-page single-pass duplexing automatic document feeder (scanner/copier)

We have set default print options such as black and white and two-sided, but these can be changed on demand for each print job or you can set up new defaults and/or saved presets on your computer yourself or with ME IT assistance.

We have also disabled printing via USB drives at the devices for security and to prevent unauthorized printing. You can print directly from your computer without needing to copy documents off to a USB drive. Secure printing instructions will be posted soon to hold jobs until you're at the printer.

Windows 10/11

Printers have been automatically deployed to most machines. You will find them under “Printers & Scanners” within Windows Settings or within the application’s print dialog window you are printing from. If you do not have these printers installed, you can follow these instructions to add the two printers.

MacOS

You will need to follow the steps in this link to add the printers to your UT Mac computer.

Note: If you have the old ETC Canon printer, you can remove it within the Printers & Scanners window.

Note: If there is a need to print from a non-UT managed Mac where UT Self Service is not installed, please submit a ticket to mech-it@austin.utexas.edu.

Copying

1. Place document(s) on ADF following the example label orientation (face up, top edge at the top for 8.5x11). ADF supports up to 11x17 horizontally.
1. Alternative: lift open top section and place single page on glass flatbed using edge guides
2. Set desired copy options on the touchscreen and press the green Start icon to begin copying.

Scanning

Due to security concerns, we do not have scan to email enabled. Instead, you can utilize scanning to a network folder. You will need to navigate to a folder on your computer to retrieve your scanned document. Please see these instructions - Windows and Mac. These network scan folders are temporary storage locations and files will be cleared after 5 days. Move your file off and place in your desired local or cloud storage location. If there is a specific security or business need that requires your own network scan folder, please submit a ticket to mech-it@austin.utexas.edu for review.

1. Place documents in the top ADF (up to 200 sheets) or open and place paper on the glass flatbed.
2. Select Home in the top right.
3. Select Scan and Send.
4. Select Address Book.
5. Select desired scan server folder from address book and select OK at the bottom
1. Staff – accessible to all ME Staff
2. Faculty – accessible to all ME Faculty
6. Select desired scan options
7. Press the green Start icon to scan.

Copy Center Services

If you need special assistance with a print job such as non-standard sizes (up to 12 x 18, envelopes), specific paper including labels or letterhead, or other needs, please email copycenter@me.utexas.edu with your request and we will discuss options. ME IT staff may be nearby if you need assistance with copying or scanning to a network folder.
