  PRINTING DOCUMENTS  
     
 
  • The printer is displaying an error message. What do I do? Immediately tell the GSA on duty. If there is a jam, the GSA can remove the paper that is causing the jam. If the error is stopping the print queue, the GSA can clear the queue. If the printer is outputting large quantities of paper with odd characters on it, the GSA can "kill" the job. In all cases, the sooner the GSA is aware of the problem, the sooner the problem can be fixed.
  • How do I print single-sided documents? The printers default to double-sided printing. If you wish to print on one side of the paper only, you must choose this option each time you open a new program. In Word, Excel, and Power Point, the single-sided printing option is selected as follows:

    Select File --> Print from the pull-down menu. Click on the button marked "properties" in the top right corner of the print window. Under the heading "Print on Both Sides (Duplex Printing)" select "none." This change will stay in effect while the application is open. Remember that when you close the application the printing defaults back to double-sided printing.

  • I printed a document but it didn't come out . . . where did it go? If you are not sure whether your print job was successfully sent to the print queue, ask the GSA to check the queue to see if your job is on it. In order to check the queue, the GSA will need to know the name of the machine on which you are working (this information is printed on the front of the computer; e.g., photosphere, io, contact). Many people may have jobs in the queue, so check with the GSA on duty to see if yours is in the printer queue. Sending it multiple times will only serve to clog up the printer queue and waste paper.
