How do I print to the main office?
General Information
The printer/copier/scanners are located in the ME Main Office Mailroom (088-2181).
Both are the following make and model: HP PageWide Managed Color MFP E77650.
Access
If you are with the Department of Mechanical Engineering you should automatically have access to the printer. Simply slide your card through the scanner attached to the left hand side of the printer to log in. If it is the first time you are using the printer you may have to input your Directory ID and Password using the built-in pullout keyboard.
The system will sign you out automatically within 30 seconds, but to be safe you may want to manually sign out by tapping Sign Out on the home screen.
Installation
Windows
For users with PCs that are not joined to the Campus Active Directory you will need to use the installer below. For those with PCs that are joined to the Campus Active Directory (you use your Directory ID and Password to log into the computer) the application and printer should already be installed – if it isn’t please make sure your computer is updated to the latest version of Windows 10/11 and you have restarted the computer before contacting IT Support.
