Printing / Scanning

Purpose

This WIKI discusses the methods to print documents and to scan documents using the Westminster Computer Lab.

Note: The computer lab is currently set-up to print only from the server. Therefore, only the instructors have the authority to make printouts and scans.

Reasons For this Decision:

1. Due to the configuration of this lab (FAT CLIENTS), printing via the workstations is NOT feasible.
2. Printing in the Computer Lab is a privilege and not a right - we need to keep the costs of printer ink and paper to a minimum.
3. Limiting the authority to instructors only will help prevent the needless printing of "rough-drafts", etc...
4. Limiting the printout of materials encourages printing at home to help minimise printing costs at the church.
5. Program will be available for the instructor account to "grab" work for printing and "off-site" storage.

FYI: In the future, if it becomes feasible to scan / make printouts from workstations, AVIT will require that access to the lab printer be limited to an adult instructor.
