Printing @ CSE
General printing in CSE is provided through shared printers located in special printer rooms on each floor and in most instructional labs. A few special use printers are also available.
Printers are classified into four groups:
- instructional printers, located in labs and used for class assignments and educational projects;
- research printers, available to faculty, staff and graduate students;
- administrative printers, located in the main office and support areas; and
- private printers, located in specific research labs and accessible only from a restricted set of machines.
All printers are PostScript compatible, and all can handle duplex (double-sided) printing.
Allen Center printer names start with the prefix ps or psc (for "PostScript" and for "PostScriptColor" respectively), and the suffix indicates the printer location. For example, ps381 is a monochrome Postscript printer in CSE 381; psc381 is a color printer located in the same room;
Gates Center printer names start with the prefix pg or pgc (for "PrinterGates" and for "PrinterGatesColor" respectively), and again the suffix indicates the printer location.
pscLarge is the color PostScript printer for printing posters and banners (no duplex printing!) Printers are located in the Allen Center and the Gates Center.

Document Scanning
Allen Center
All desktop-style Ricoh MFDs in printer closets (CSE 241, 281, 341, 381, 441, 481, 541, 581 and 622) can be used to scan multi-page documents that are delivered to your email inbox as a pdf attachment. In addition to these Ricoh printers, the Allen Center also boasts two high-volume Xerox copiers, located in room AC103. These two machines, a D95CP Lite Production Device and an Altalink B8090H Multi-function Device, each offer a broad range of scanning features and are the most efficient option for large scanning jobs.
Gates Center
As in the Allen Center, all desktop-style Ricoh MFDs in printer closets (CSE2 110, 124, 224, 270, 324, 370, and 100) can be used to scan multi-page documents that are delivered to your email inbox as a pdf attachment. Additionally, the Gates Center also houses two slightly smaller, yet identical, Xerox Altalink B8075 Multi-function Devices that are equipped with the same scanning functionality and interface as the Altalink B8090 in the Allen Center. These two Xerox copiers are located in CSE2 166 and CSE2 341, respectively.
Login Requirements
In order to utilize the scanning feature on any Allen School device, a CSE NetID and password is required for login. This layer of security ensures reliable email delivery and allows network file access for the Scan-to-file service (known as "Workflow Scanning" on the smaller Xerox Altalink MFDs and "Network Scanning" on the large Xerox D95CP Lite Production device).
Scanning Types
- Scan To E-mail will handle documents up to about 100 pages. For larger documents, we recommend that you split your document into several smaller batches.
- Alternatively, you can use the Scan To File service, which does not have these limits, but which does require another step to retrieve your document, and requires prompt retrieval.
Loading Documents for Scanning
Each of the four Xerox devices located across the Allen Center and the Gates Center allow documents to be loaded in two different ways:1. Single-Pass Document Feeder
- Loose-leaf, multi-page documents can be placed in the single-pass document feeder tray located on top of the machine
- Documents loaded in the auto feeder must be in a good condition and free from staples and paper clips.
- Pages should be loaded face-up, with the long edge toward the feeder.
- There are document guides on the auto feeder which must be adjusted against the front and rear edges of the documents so copier knows the size of your document.
2. Platen Glass
- Odd-sized documents (e.g., books) can be placed directly on the platen glass.
- Documents should be placed face-downon the glass
- Align the page with the upper left hand corner of the platen glass guidelines
- Close the Document Glass Cover.
Features & Common Setting Considerations
- Documents can be converted to tiff format instead of the default pdf
- Image adjustments can be made to the original
- Double-sided documents can be scanned with ease
- Alll Xerox Devices and Ricoh MFDs will make color scans. **Please note that color settings may have to be manually changed from "black & white" (default on some of the devices) to "auto-detect" or "color". Be sure to review your settings prior to scanning.
Faxing
Faxing is available in the Allen Center. Faxing out can be done on any of the Ricoh printers in the X41 printer closets, and requires you to log in.
- Follow posted instructions for using the fax option
- You must prepend the destination fax number with '9' (e.g. 9##########)
There is only one machine in the Allen Center that can receive faxes. It is on the first floor by CSE reception. Incoming faxes should be sent to 206-543-2969

In order to use the scan to email or file service, you must have a valid CSE NetID. The copy, facimile, and printer features can be accessed directly via function keys, and they do not require a login.
The Ricoh MFD interface uses a tiltable panel with a touch screen plus some physical keys: home, function, and check status keys on the left; numerical keypad and other keys on right. Each press on the touch screen generates a beep sound confirming that the screen press has been entered.
To start on Ricoh device, press the
Login button in the touch screen. Press the Home key first if you do not see the
Login button. If the screen is dark, the machine may be in the energy saver mode. You may need to firmly press and hold the Energy Saver key until the device responds.
There are a limited number of keys on the screen. Special characters and numbers in your password will require use of an alternate keyboard: press the Entry Method, press Alphabet button, Number button, or Symbol button, and then press OK.
In any keyboard, if you are in the middle of entering your account name or password, do not press OK to switch keyboard, only press Entry Method, and then press OK after a keyboard has been selected. After your account name or password has been completely entered, press OK.
There is a 10-second wait after the OK button on the password has been pressed. Once the authentication has succeeded, you will get right to the device home screen, where you can press Scanner icon to open the scanner screen. The login will not succeed if your CSE NetID is not valid.

Ricoh Scan to file/folder deposits scanned document by default as a PDF file to a file server via SMB protocol with a default path \\scanstore\ftp. The SMB transfer channel is not encrypted which make it less secure than scan to email. It is possible to change the deposit server in your Ricoh Address Book, but it is not recommended, as the Ricoh MFD is configured to be on an isolated network and may not communicate with your server.
A
login with a valid CSE NetID is required before scan to file can be used in the following steps.
-
Log in and press scanner icon to open the scanner screen. You can press the reset key in any step below to get back to the scannner screen.
- Press folder tab if it has not already been selected.
- Press Select Destination from Address Book. Each user entry in the device's Address book contains a preconfigured destination folder, where the scanned document is to be deposited, and retrivable only by the entry owner.
- Press the box containg your account name in the address book. When you are done, press OK and you should get back to the scanner screen. The user name and folder SMB \\scanstore\ftp should appear on the screen.
- Preview the Original and Send Settings on the right side of the screen. As appropriate, press the button to make changes. For examples, in the Original, 1 Sided scanning can be changed to 2 Sided, and in Send Settings,
Type of the Original can be changed from Black&White to Full Color or to Auto Color Select.

[+] Xerox Scan To File
[-] Xerox Scan To File
This feature creates an electronic file from a hardcopy original, rather than producing an email attachment. This option may be necessary if your document or set of documents exceeds the email limit. Please do note, however, that your file will disappear if you don't retrieve it promptly.
- By default, a pdf file is created, but you may also produce a tiff file.
- Your scanned document is stored to a special network server, and you can retrieve it by visiting the Scan Repository, then using the "Save Page As..." feature of your web browser.
- **Files are automatically deleted from the Repository after about 24 hours.
Xerox D95CP
Settings / Prep:
- Touch the Network Scanning
option on the Services Home menu and login with your CSE NetID (details above, in
Using the services).
- You should then see the Network Scanning user interface.
-
The default filename is DOC (do not change this filename) and the default format is pdf. When a document under the same name already exists in the Scan Repository, the first unused name in the sequence DOC, DOC000, DOC001, ..., is used. (The filename is converted to lower-case characters with a pdf or tif suffix, i.e., doc.pdf, doc000.pdf, doc001.pdf, ..., for storing the scanned document on the Repository.)
**Do not adjust the settings under the If File Already Exists or Add File Destination options! These settings have been set to work properly with the Scan Repository and any changes may create problems.**
- Typically, you can skip to step 6. But if you have special considerations, such as a double-sided document, want to adjust the resolution, or produce tiff format, these settings can be changed by touching the "Advanced Settings", "
Layout Adjustment", and "Filing Options" tabs to the right of the main "Network Scanning" tab. The options within each one of these tabs provide a basic description of their respecitive functions and should be largely intuitive.
- When making adjustments, save each of the new settings and, when done, touch the Network Scanning tab.
Scanning:
- Load the document just as you would to make a photocopy. If you use the document feeder, place the document face up in the tray so the top of the page feeds in first. If you place the document on the glass, place it face down, then close the Document Glass Cover.
- Press the green Start
button. The machine will start scanning your document, and if successful, your document will show up in the Scan Repository, where you can download your document file(s). If an error occurs, a diagnostic page will be printed by the copier, and there may also be a document file at
Scan Repository. A successful scan does not produce any printout at the copier.
- Repeat from step 1 until all of your documents are scanned.
- Press the access key and then touch
logout. You can logout before your last scan has completed, and don't forget to take your originals!
- Visit the Scan Repository to retrieve your scanned documents. Documents in the Repository are kept 24 hours.
