PRINTERS

Large HP printer for colour or b/w printing, single or double sided. ICIQ's IT unit is in charge of it, so report any issues to them: https://helpdesk.iciq.es/portal/portal-login

SHARED PRINTERS (on other floors/buildings):

The printer IMP_COL_GES (HP Enterprise 500 M551), is available for all users. It's an automatic double sided color printer (like the IMP_COL_ADM printer) and it's located in the administrative management area. The color printer on the first floor is IMP_COL_PB (Lexmark C532). It's a one-side color printer.

Graphic programs have their own printing menu or process; obviously, one has to follow the program’s instructions in order to print.

SCANNER

Small HP printer - it can only be used as a scanner and to make photocopies. You can send the scan to your email address, to our "Common Folder" or save it in a USB pendrive.

To sent the scan to your ICIQ email address: Choose the EMAI" icon from the manu -> All your addresses are saved in an "Address Book", you access it through the "Notepad" icon on the right -> then choose "Loccal" -> "Individual Contacts" -> look for your name and select it

PHOTOCOPIER: Place your documents on the feeder (or on the glass if it's only one), with the text/images facing up. Press the "Copy" symbol on the screen and "Black" or "Color" to start printing. If you need several copies, double-sided etc. you have to press the "Settings" option and you'll get a menu with: number of copies, reduce/enlarge, lighter/darker, select tray, 2 sided (1 side to 1 side, 2 sides to 2 sides, 2 sides to 1 side)

SCANNER (PDF files): Place your documents on the feeder (or on the glass if it's only one), press the "Scan" symbol. The options you have are: scan to USB, scan to network folder, scan to email. If you want to email the scan, the screen mentioned on the fax section above will pop-up, you just have to key in the address. Martín has set up the scanner so that with the "network folder" option, scans are saved in http://aliga.iciq.es/fsn/# in USERS_AREA -> ScannedFiles where you or another person can download it.

You can also use a photocopier machine that is on the first floor (Administration office next to the stairs and lift, right above the auditorium). That machine is also a scanner and from it you can send PDF documents to email addresses (some ICIQ email addresses are saved in the memory). There is also a fax machine in that office.
