The ColorPress is a toner based printer, located in the DOC PreProduction room (room M114). This is a self-service for CIA users to print on 8.5"x 11" or 12"x18" text weight or card weight papers stocked in the printer. Print jobs can be sent from any workstation in the DOC or from CIA user's personal laptops (click here for laptop printing setup instructions).
Students may also bring in their own paper to print on this device but MUST first have it approved by the DOC Manager or Specialist. Failure to do so could result in damage to the equipment for which users are responsible.
After opening and editing the image to be printed, click on the "File" drop-down menu at top left and select "Print" (or hit commmand + P).
Use the paper size drop down menu to select the US Letter (8.5" x 11") or Tabloid Oversize (12" x 18") page size.
Depending on the application being used to print, this option may be located in a separate "Print Setting" or "Page Setup" dialoge box.
If a page size other than 8.5" x 11" or 12" x 18" is selected then the print job may not either print correctly or cause an error on the printer; please see a DOC staff member if assistance is needed.
The DOC ColorPress uses multiple printers to determine which tray and paper size to use for each print job; select the printer based on the desired paper type, paper-size and duplex (2-sided) settings.
Use the dialoge's provided print preview to confirm the paper size & corresponding image size and orientation as well as copies and number of pages, if applicable.
Do not change any other settings unless otherwise advised by a DOC employee. Things like orientation and 2-sided printing will be controlled through the selected printer.
Open a web browser such as Safari and go to my.cia.edu then click the "Print Management" link located at left under "Campus Services"; or just click here to access the PaperCut login page.
Login to PaperCut Account using the same username and password for CIA email and logins. Confirm cost and number of pages then click "print" on the release page to send to the printer; or click "cancel" to cancel the print job.
