Dear all,

Here is a message from our friendly IT Liaison Alicia, which you can also find on her blog page at http://imusrcit.blogspot.com/.

Happy New Year, all!

Printers!
The print outsourcing has been up and running since last 7th December. If you haven't got your pin for the account yet, which is customized for every student, and you missed the dates to get it, you could always get it from the HelpDesk on the third floor, to the left of the escalator.

You would require that pin each time to log onto the printer itself to print. As our printers are linked up, students would be able to print from different learning labs, even if they've sent their print jobs from another learning lab. This would be really awesome if students on a deadline find themselves caught in a congestion of other people trying to print in one lab; they could always run over to another lab and print directly from the printer itself, eliminating the need to log onto the network and send the print job again.

Also, the earlier print rates are now incorrect, as they've been lowered to 8.5 sen per black and white page.

Welfare Meeting
During our Welfare Meeting back in November, I did attempt to bring up getting a number of FinePrint licenses for several of our computers. However, the notion was turned down as it tends to consume much memory, which would then jam up the next print jobs, as well as the fact that it is really too expensive at its USD$60.00 price, which would translate into at least RM200 per license, especially when the outsourcing company is already providing the drivers as part of the agreement.

Hence, the current system will stick to the Ricoh drivers provided by the outsourcing company.

*
Just a casual reminder to students; -

Do remember to scan your USB drives that are plugged in and out of IMU computers (regardless of location of computer) and your own personal/other computers, prior and post-usage. Even when we still conduct sweeps monthly to clean off the viruses and trojans, a major number of infections still crop up due to external inputs.

Despite it being a bit of a so-called chore, it is a habit that should be exercised by students adult enough to take initiative in preventing things they don't want to happen.

Hoping everyone had a very good New Year celebration, and a blessed year of advancement ahead!

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

A How-To Guide to Printing on the new Ricohs.

Merely wanted to post up a written guide on how to print using the new printers as it's easy to get lost if you aren't too sure :(.

You would first need to get your pin, if you haven't efficiently already done so at HelpDesk on the third floor, left of the escalator. Miss Aarthi is the person in charge, and she is the only one who has the right to generate your six-digit pin, so if there's a congestion, please bear with us.

The second thing you need is paper and a computer within one of the ELLs.

After you've decided what to print, click Print (take note of the printer as well; if it's not the Ricoh printer for the ELLs, then your print job will not be received). You would see a window popping up asking for your username and password, both which are your Student ID number. Type them both out and hit Enter. If you would like to see/make sure that your print job is sent, you can look for Start Menu > Ringdale > Client Administration. Under the Print Jobs tab, you should be able to see your print job.

Next, get up from chair and move towards printer with your papers, and insert papers into the topmost Tray 1. Gently push it back, to avoid its internals from breaking.

After, ensure printer is on (the On button is on your top right), and that the Printer button on your left has a lighted up LED.

Enter pin number (eg 123456) onto the black box on printer (not the printer itself) and press #. If the pin works, there are two beeps. If it does not, three beeps will sound.

Warmest regards,

Zia Shah

Additions to the Student Lounge

Dear all,

We are happy to announce that we have managed to get better chairs for the computers in the student lounge.

There are 4 in total.

Please make sure not to misplace them or abuse them.

Also, Dr. Annie Tay very kindly donated a DVD player for the student lounge.

Please do make sure that you do not watch anything obscene with it and that you do not remove the dvd player from where it has been placed.

Also, there is no remote for this player, so you just have to press play manually.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
