How to Use

To use the poster printers, follow the step-by-step instructional poster hanging in the Co-Lab.

If the image is only showing up in a small rectangle in the middle of the poster, pay particular attention to Step Two of the instructions, "Scale to Fit Paper."

Co-Lab Printer

  • What it does
    • The Canon printer in the Co-Lab prints color.
    • NOTE: The printer is called the CANON printer if the student is printing from the two computers next to it. It is called the CO-LAB COLOR PRINTER if they are printing from the two computers that face the library lawn. ONLY these four computers print to the color printer.
  • If you want to print on your own paper (or print labels) you can use the Co-Lab Color Printer. Use the BYPASS TRAY. It pulls down from the right side of the color printer. Go into "Printer Properties" then select "Paper" and choose to print to the Bypass Tray. To print on a certain side of the paper, put that side FACE DOWN on the tray.
