Academic Computing: Tresidder Lair Printing

Printing

If you have problems or can't find your answer on this page, call a consultant at the Meyer Tech desk (723-9407).

Printing Instructions

To print from a Tresidder Cluster Macintosh you need to have either money on your StanfordCardPlan or local ACOMP credit. Select print from the application that you wish to print from. The PDnotify confirmation box will then appear, if you have both local "ACOMP" credit and money on your StanfordCardPlan then you can use the drop down box to select from which account to charge the printing costs to.

Printers

All of our laser printers print at 1200 dpi.

System	Printer name	Description	Cost/Page

CardPlan/ Local Credit	Rhino	HP LaserJet 4200 (b&w)	$0.10

Paying For Printing: StanfordCardPlan

We require that all users pay for printing with the StanfordCardPlan. The local ACOMP printing account is only used for refunds, and money can not be added to this account.

To add money to your CardPlan account, bring your Stanford ID card to the first floor of Old Union or to one of the DART machines. The DART machines accept cash only and are located in Tresidder Union just outside the Tresidder Cluster and next to the stairwell on the first floor of Meyer Library.

With credit in your CardPlan account, you may print to either Tresidder printer or the printers at Meyer. You can use this same account to print in your dorm, buy food at various concessions on campus (such as TresEx and the Coffee House), and pay for health services at Cowell, among other things.

A Meyer Cluster consultant can check the balance on your CardPlan if you present your Stanford ID. You can check yourself by bringing your ID to a DART machine or by visiting the Student Balances Web page. For more information on the Stanford CardPlan and how you can use it, visit the StanfordCardPlan Web site or call (650) 498-PLAN.

Paper & Other Print Media

All of Tresidder Cluster's printers normally use 8.5" x 11", white, 20 lb. bond paper. Other materials, such as envelopes, legal-sized paper, and acetate transparencies, should be fed through the manual feed tray to avoid paper jams. Please be aware that when using your own media, you print at your own risk.

Local Credit and Print Refunds

Refunds are in the form of local ACOMP credit only. We regret that we cannot offer CardPlan or cash refunds. The page(s) for which you wish to receive a refund must be presented to a consultant.

Your account will be credited for each unsatisfactory page multiplied by the per-page cost ($0.10 cents for black and white laser printing) if the problem was caused by one of the following:

a printer or toner malfunction (e.g. paper jams, streaks, low toner).

a bug in an application or the Cluster printing system

Your account cannot be credited for print problems caused by one of the following:

accidentally sending more than one copy to the printer

any formatting problem not caused by a bug

unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds if you forget to log out and someone else prints using your print quota

Our intent in outlining this policy is to take responsibility for printing problems that our patrons could not have reasonably avoided.
