The Seventh Annual Celebration of Scholarship and Creative Activity is now in full swing! Last Thursday was the opening reception, which was attended and enjoyed by over 50 Butler faculty and staff. Bonnie Brown (Assoc. Prof. of Pharmacy) was our featured speaker and her talk was engaging and educational. As always, Aramark was outstanding in their catering, with the presentation and taste of the food and wine being lauded by all who attended.

Printing from Room 119

It appears we are having some problems with the computers in room 119 printing to the Reference printers. I know I’ve asked I.R. to check on this before and I’ll work on that during the next week or so.

In the meantime, until they fix the problem, please be aware that some of the computers in room 119 are not defaulting to IL_120_K and may not even have that printer installed. If a student is not finding their print jobs, please check what printer their computer is trying to send the job to. It will most likely be some Image Writer type of thing, which won’t print anywhere. If IL_120_K is installed, have them choose it. If not, please add the printer for them (using Add Printer or Start-Run: \\ada) and then they should print fine.

Thanks much.

Reference Printer Jams

This is just a clarification of the error messages that the Reference Printers give us.

Paper Jam: Printer
means “underneath the toner cartridge”

Paper Jam: Duplexer means inside above the top paper tray.

For the first one, simply remove the entire toner cartridge and fuser. That is NOT the blue lever. Just lift the entire thing and it will all come out. Remove the paper jam and use the green arrows to line up the toner unit and replace it.

For the second one, you have to remove the top paper tray (#1). In the top of the paper tray cavity you’ll see a green tab. Pull that down to expose the paper that is stuck. Remove it, let go of the green tab, and replace the paper tray.

For ALL paper jams, they have GREEN tabs, levers, and arrows to help you know where to look. The BLUE lever in the top is only for removing empty toner cartridges. Please don’t use the blue lever when removing paper jams, since it doesn’t help and often results in toner leakage inside the printer and on the first batch of print jobs.

If you’re more of a visual person, Kyocera has a web page with step by step instructions and pictures for clearing each type of paper jam.

Hope that helps.

Searching the Website

You may have noticed that as of last night we finally have the ability to search the library website from a box located in the sidebar above Ask A Librarian. This is the same search feature that’s on other department sites and you have the choice of searching the library website or all of Butler. It took some testing and tweaking but it’s all set and functioning well now. Please let me know if you have any problems with searching or results or whatever.

Thanks.
Scott
