Printstudio

1. 1. Get everybody warned 10 minutes before closing time.
   2. Clean the room and shut down the computers.
   3. You can leave the inkjetprinters on, but put the Canon on standby by pressing the Moon signal.
   4. Clean the printerhead of the Mimaki. Do not touch the nozzles.
   5. Check the drawers 1 - 22 for enough paper and fill them up.
   6. Cut the Glossy and Greenlabel to A3 first.

WHEN IT IS BUSY

1. Help students on the two Macs next to the Canon.
2. Explain when to use a preset or when to use the paper catalog.
3. - Preset for standard papers in the printer
4. - Paper catalog for all one sided prints from drawer 1 - 22
5. Magazines should have a total number of pages that is devidable by four.
6. The Canon can only staple up to 24 pages (4 sheets).

AVOID JAMS

1. Notice the difference with opaque and transparant. Mix them up and the Canon will jam.
2. With A3 thick paper, put at least 10 extra in. It also helps to hold the pile in the multi purpose tray and let the paper go in one by one.
3. All A4 paper go in with the short side first.
4. When the Canon jams, touch the button on the screen so you can see where the jam is.
5. Always open the middle part (big door) as the last one. Paper should be clear on the left and right side, otherwise you crash it and little pieces of paper remain in the machine, causing trouble.
