Adding Printers

Go to the link below to install printers on your computer. Use Internet Explorer - Netscape will not work.

After the printers are installed, you may need to tweak a few settings.

1) In the Start menu, go to Printers and Faxes. Find the printer you want to be your default, right click on it, and select Set as Default Printer. The new printers have short names, such as "BAE-4000-219 on COAFES."

3/34/06 New printer (BAE-4250-219)

Right click on the printer in Printers and Faxes and choose Printing Preferences...

In the Paper/Quality tab, set the source to be Tray 4, and the Type to be Plain as shown below.

Duplexing

To print on both sides of a document, when getting ready to print, go to the Finishing tab and click "Print on Both Sides." You can also set this to be the default if you want.

BAE-4000-219 printer

If Print on Both Sides is on, you may want to change it to none so that you can choose that selectively.

In the Paper/Quality box, you should probably set the tray to Tray 4 and the Media to Plain.

To print to the various trays in 219:

Tray 2 (BAE letterhead): Paper Source: Tray 2, Media: Letterhead
Tray 3 (Extension letterhead): Paper Source: Tray 3, Media: Bond
Tray 4 (Plain paper): Paper Source: Tray 4, Media: Plain
