Printing

Currently the department does not charge for the use of the printers in the labs.  As long as there are no abuses we will continue with this policy.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE PRINTERS AS A COPIER.  This puts an incredible amount of wear and tear on the printers.  If you need 10 copies of a document for your class, please print one copy on the printers in the lab then use the Photocopiers downstairs for additional copies.

The Sociology lab has four networked high volume printers,

LSHA339HP4000

LSHA339XN2125

LSHA337XN2125

LSHA337HP8150

Please try to use LSHA339HP4000 printer if you are printing rough drafts and do not need high quality output.  A description of the printers available to the lab are as follows:

HP4000: Laserjet.  Highest quality. 1200x1200 dpi resolution, Prints 17 pg/min .

XN2125: Laserjet. Highest quality. 1200x1200 dpi resolution. Prints 21 pg/min.

HP8150: Laserjet. Highest quality. 1200x1200 dpi resolution. Prints 32 pg/min.

Scanning

The scanner has been made available for general use by the Sociology faculty and graduate students.  The scanner is capable of very high quality picture reproduction and very fast optical character recognition (the degree of accuracy of such recognition depends on the quality of the original). The picture reproduction capability is ideal for web page construction; the OCR software can save files in various formats including Microsoft Word.  The Scanner can only be operated from (Shutz) the computer located directly next to it.
