Hello… My Name is…

Now that the dust has settled and the migration to the new MyMail mail service is complete, you should take a moment to introduce yourself – to your professors, friends, and family. Unlike the old e-mail system, the new MyMail system does not automatically populate your Display Name, meaning that your e-mail recipients might not recognize you by your new address alone.

End-of-Semester Printing Survival Guide

The end of spring semester is a particularly busy time for printers on campus as theses, final papers, final projects, and poster projects come due. Here are a few tips to help you make those deadlines and get the most out of printing services on campus:

TIP #1: Allow plenty of time for printing.
Do not try to print at the last minute. If the ITB lab is busy, try coming back at a later time. The lab and the standard printers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Poster printing is available until Midnight Sunday-Thursday.

ITS has added an extra black & white laser printer to the printer pool in the ITB lab specifically to meet the end of semester demand.

Tip #2: Avoid the crowd and print from your room
Did you know that you can send print jobs to public lab printers directly from your room? Set up instructions can be found here:

Of course, you will still need to collect your print job from the printer.

Tip #3: Location, location, location
ITB is not the only place you can print. There are printers available for student use in various parts of campus, including Hahn, Lyon, Oldenborg, and Smith Campus Center. For a list of available printing locations, please see:

Tip #4: Don’t be afraid to tap the power of Duplicating Services
Black & White, color, and poster printing, binding, as well as a host of other specialty papers and options are available through Duplicating Services (located in the South Wing of the Seeley Mudd Science Library on College Ave).

Tip #5: Make sure you can pay the bill
Before you begin printing, make sure you have enough Print Quota to cover the job. Additional Print Quota can be purchased through the Business Office. Information on checking your print quota as well printing costs can be found here:

Tip #6: Poster printing at the last minute is never a good idea
Need to print a poster? First, read the following poster printing primer:

http://its.pomona.edu/FAQ/PosterPrinting

Please note that demand for poster printing during this time of year is very high and that each poster can take up to an hour (or more) to print. Poster printing at ITB must be done during staffed hours, since someone from ITS needs to release the print job before it will print.

A poster printer is also available at Duplicating Services.

Tip #7: Help ITS keep the printers in tip top shape
Help us help you by immediately reporting any printing problems to us either by phone (x18062), e-mail (help@pomona.edu) or by submitting a report on our website (http://its.pomona.edu/help)
