Printing Procedures    
Print this page Printer friendly version
Print all IT information

There are three laser printers at JAIMS. Two are located in the first floor computer lab (room 122 and room 123) and one is located in room 209 on the second floor (for those with laptop computers). UnipriNT debits each studentês individual account 5 cents for each printed page. Accounts and print jobs are password protected. Print jobs queue up at each print station until they are "released," either by printing or deleting. Print jobs left longer than 24 hours will be automatically deleted.

How to use UnipriNT

  1. JAIMS charges 5 cents a page for laser printing. However, all current students are each given a set amount of "free" credit for the duration of their program of study. Additional credits may be purchased as needed at the Reception Counter.
  2. Unused credit is non-refundable, and students are encouraged to conserve resources to enable JAIMS to apply unused credit toward resource upgrades in the Takuma Yamamoto e-Learning Center.
  3. Turning on the print station equipment at the start of the day.
    1. Turn on the printer, computer and monitor at the print station.
    2. Log on: Type _________ (same as label located on computerÀ i.e., prints1, prints2 or prints3)
    3. Password: Type Password
  4. How to Print
    1. From within any program, press the PRINT icon or use the pull-down menu.
    2. Create a password for the document in the "pop-up box" at your computer (for Windows in English only). Students can use their usual password or they can create a special password for the document.



    2. The printer nearest to the PC in use will be set as the default printer. If students want to use another printer, they must select it.
  1. "Releasing" the print job at the print station
    1. Log on to Pharos using an assigned user name and password.



    2. Highlight the job to print. Pharos uses the documentês name as the job title.



    3. Create and type a password for the print job. This can be the same as students' assigned network login password, or it can be a unique password for the document.



    4. Check the balance of credit (5 cents a page).
    5. Press the PRINT button to "release" the print job to the printer.
    6. Important: Press the EXIT button to log out of Pharos at the print station.
  • Press ESC to clear the screen.
  1. Students may delete their own print job by highlighting and deleting it at the print station. Print jobs will be held in the queue for 24 hours and then automatically deleted.
  2. While Japanese and Chinese language documents can be printed, students cannot password-protect your document using the pop-up screen. Students may release your document from the print station in the usual manner, however.
  3. Document titles will also be used as the print job title. Look for the print job title or your name in the queue at the print station.
  4. Printing Problems
    Depending on the problem, students might try one of the following:
  • Power: Check the on/off switch.
  • Paper jam: Carefully remove the paper from the machine.
  • Low toner: See a JAIMS staff member for toner replacement.
  • Data error resulting in blank sheets with a few words at the top or bottom of the sheet: Notify Soutchay or a staff member immediately so that the print job can be deleted.
  • Printer cable: Disconnect and reconnect the cable.
  • Printer configuration: From the printing menu, check to see that the proper printer is selected.
  • Not enough credit in account: Purchase credit at the Reception Counter.
  • Cannot log-in at the print station: Type assigned user name and password carefully. They are the same user name and password students use to log into the JAIMS network.
  1. If a printing problem was the result of a printer malfunction (i.e., paper jam, low toner) and the account was debited, the account will by credited accordingly. Please notify Soutchay, the receptionist or the night monitor, and bring evidence of the problem, if possible. Credit for all other problems will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  2. To print from a laptop directly to a JAIMS printer, Soutchay must install the UnipriNT client software onto the laptop. Students must schedule an appointment with him. Alternatively, students may copy documents onto a floppy disk (or place it in the share folder on the network) from a laptop and then print them from a PC in the computer room. The UnipriNT account will be debited accordingly.
  3. To check the UnipriNT account balance, students must log in at any print station. The account balance will appear at the bottom of the screen. Exit when done.
  4. When printing PDF files, the procedures are the same (i.e., creating a password at your computer, releasing the document at the print station). However, there might be a delay of a few seconds because of the documentês length, but breaking up the print job into smaller segments will help to speed the printing. Also, the document will print only to the computerês default printer.

Print all IT information

Computer resources are integrated throughout JAIMS for the conduct of JAIMS business or study. Please observe the rules and policies listed below to help us maintain a pleasant environment conducive to study and learning.

  1. Do not bring food or drinks in the Media Lab or the Computer Classroom on the first floor. Trash should be deposited into wastebaskets.
  2. Students may use computers for recreation (e.g. , computer games); however, students who wish to use computers for class assignments have priority access to computers.
  3. Friends and family members are not allowed to use computer equipment or occupy any seat at a computer that might prevent another student from using the computer.
  4. Keep all conversation and computer audio at a reasonable volume to avoid disturbing others.
  5. Do not install software on JAIMS computers unless permission is obtained from the Manager of IT and Equipment Support.
  6. Do not attempt to modify the computer systems or software in any unauthorized manner. The use of invasive software, such as "worms" and "viruses" destructive to computer systems, is illegal.
  7. Save all documents on your personal floppy and zip disks; a software program called Deep Freeze will clear all unauthorized programs and documents from computers when computers are rebooted.
  8. Students' entire e-mailbox "storage" on the JAIMS server is limited to 5 MB. When this amount is exceeded, students will not be able to receive new messages.
