PRINTING PROCEDURES

At your computer station:

1. Select PRINT from the application (i.e. Firefox, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Word, etc.) file menu, or type Ctrl+P.

2. In the print dialog box confirm the printer you want to use is selected (i.e. VANPELT_LIB_BW, BIOMED_LIB_COLOR) then make any necessary choices such as "Page range.”

3. Click OK or type Ctrl+Enter.

4. In the “Print Job Details” dialog box, type a username to help locate your job in the print queue, a password that will be used to release your job, and a name for the job itself.

5. Click the Print button or hit the key.

6. Go to the release station to print your job.

At the printing release station:

1. Swipe your PENNcard or Penn Cash Card through the card reader to logon to the print system. The stripe should be away from you and the card should be swiped from left to right.

2. Jobs are sorted by username. Locate the username you used when you sent the job. Select the specific job by the Job name you entered earlier.

3. Click PRINT.

4. You will be prompted to enter the password you chose when you sent the job.

5. The job will print.

6. It’s a good idea to click the “logoff” button on the release station when you finish sending your jobs.

If you encounter a problem:

• If you do not see your print job on the release station screen, click REFRESH button.
Print jobs are available for 2 hours after sending them to the print server.

• If you see the "Not enough funds for transaction” error message, then the COST of your print job exceeds the BALANCE on your PENNcard or Penn Cash Card. Click EXIT and add funds to your card at a Value Adding Center.

• If you choose not to print your job, click DELETE to remove your print job from the screen.
