Printing

ARE has two VersaLink B615 B/W copiers on both the 3rd and 4th floor. Both ARE copiers on each floor have been configured for network printing and should be available for printing over the network as printers you can print to upon logging in.  Please note that these copiers are capable of stapling. Remember that ARE is charged *per page* on a monthly basis, whether we are copying or printing.  Please recycle paper either at the copier or at your own printer if applicable.

The copiers will collate print job to make it easier to differentiate as to who printed what.

Printer Location

3rd Floor VersaLink is located in the Nelson Hall 3331.

4th Floor VersaLink is located between Nelson Hall 4335 and 4305.

Windows – Secured Printing + Stapling feature

Secured Printing:  Allows users to send a print job to the copier and, when convenient, have it print when you go to the printer and type in a security PIN code to release the job. This feature is available only on Windows systems

  1. Select “Preferences” or “Properties” depending on what program you’re in.
  2. In Job Type: Select “Secure Print” and type a desired code, this is up to you
  3. Hit OK, and send the job to the printer

–>Once at the printer<–

  1. Log-in at the printer
  2. Go into “Jobs” menu and find your secured print job being held
  3. Select the job and input the PIN Code to release it

Stapling:  The printer is capable of stapling a document up to 50 pages. The printer’s finisher will only hold 500 sheets of paper, so if you’re sending 800 page staple job, the printer will stop once it reaches 500 pages and alert you to remove the finished part of the job.

  1. Select “Preferences” or “Properties” in the print menu once you have selected the desired printer
  2. In Finishing: Select 1 staple, hit OK, and send the job
