Watch out for the machines!!!


This weekend the Color Printer which is located across from the LC desk was found to be inoperable.
.
The problem as analyzed by the systems department:
.
8x11 paper was jammed into the 11x17 paper drawer. This paper was forced into the drawer where there was already 11x17 paper. It was also way overloaded. This caused the drawer to be jammed shut with no way for the machine to operate.
.
This has happened previously. The potential damage caused by overloading paper as well as putting the wrong sized paper (as well as paper-type)in the printers and copiers is substantial (in the thousands of dollars).
.
1. Your supervisor will be retraining you on what paper goes where in the printers/copiers.
2. NEVER overload the paper; put less not more in the drawer.
3. NEVER force the drawer shut. It should slide in with a small amount of pressure.
4. The color copier uses a different type of paper; ask your supervisor where this paper is.
5. Be alert to patrons trying to load paper into any of the machines here; it is not allowed.
6. If you witness any coworkers using the wrong paper or overloading the drawers, please notify your supervisor.
.
Thanks! Indirectly, the cost of the equipment in the LC impacts us all...
