UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Out of Toner]
UBC Mathematics: MathNet FAQ [Out of Toner]
Question: What do I do when the printer is out of paper or toner?
Author: Joseph Tam
Date: Sep. 14, 2011
If a printer has run out of paper (the trays are empty and no packages
of paper can be found near the printer), then some more paper can be
fetched from MATH118 (photocopier room). Please notify the Front Desk
Receptionist so that proper inventory can be kept. If you are strong
enough, take an entire box so that this tiresome chore is done less
frequently.
You can usually ignore the printer if it complains that it is low
on toner; the toner warning is based on conservative estimates of toner
usage, and when this warning first appears, there is usually a significant
amount of toner left. Only when printed page have light or bald patches
should the IT staff be notified that the toner cartridge needs replacing.
Shaking the toner cartridge usually yield a few more pages of life if
you need to eek out a few usable pages, but please notify the IT staff
to replace the cartridge.
If this your personal printer (i.e. not a printer for public use
maintained by the MathNet IT staff), you should read this FAQ on how to
order your own toner cartridge:
