Office Supplies General office supplies are available in the mailroom cabinets under the mailboxes. If you have a special request, please check with your administrator. If you have special furniture needs or would like to purchase a desktop system or laptop, also check with your administrator.

Copiers A scanner/fax/copier is located in the mailroom. Heavy-duty copiers are located all across campus but the 3rd floor ones are the most easily accessible. Take the exit stairs near the elevator, go up one floor, and you will find the copiers by the windows to the left of the bridge. There is one color copier and one B&W copier. Both need an access code. Get it from your administrator. The Library, too, has copiers that will accept your code.

Printing The Computation Facility has tabloid and poster printers. Our Division has a color printer called 'tapcolor' in the mailroom as well as one heavy-duty networked b&w printer located in the mailroom. This black and white printer is called "tap" and here's how you should be able to designate it from the command line:

% hprint -d tap Document.ps
% hprint -d tap -duplex Document.ps
