The Campus
Ball State University in Muncie Indiana offers a plethora of academic opportunities. As an integral part of the community and economy, Balls State creates innovation in the state by taking part in projects and research. Groundbreaking research is created by the use of top-notch facilities with emerging technology and media. Before incorporating PrinterOn’s Campus Printing Solution Bradley D. Faust, Assistant Dean for library, was looking for a printing solution that would grant students access to Wi-Fi offered in the library. In order to do this, the Printing Solution had to show students an easy to use interface, integrate with other existing cost recovery systems, and require students to authenticate before printing. “Above all,” states Faust, “we need to cater to our students. Printing is an absolute necessity for students and it is essential that we offer a convenient, reliable solution.”

The Challenge
Students began bringing their personal laptops into the library. As a result, “the IT staff started to receive more questions from students about how they could print their documents – word, web content etc. – from their own laptops to the library printers” recalls Faust. “We had no way to accommodate this need.”

The Solution
The PrinterOn Campus Printing Solution (CPS) is a suite of technologies that make student printing easy and lower the overall cost of print services.

The Campus Printing Solution
By providing a website for student printing without the installation of print drivers, staff and students can select the printer they want, upload documents, choose the number of copies, and submit to the printer with ease. Due to this system requiring less help from the staff, the overall cost of student printing is significantly lower. With access control, auditing and print management integration, the Campus Printing Solution easily fits into any institutions environmental and fiscal print less initiatives.

The PrinterOn Benefits
“With CPS, users must be inside or have VPN access to the campus domain. This controls who is using the printers and contains printing costs-make us very happy” states Faust. “CPS enables us to track print usage by individual users or particular demographics and identify high usage trends. Last year, students would print a lot of flyers for parties, garage sales etc.” recalls Faust. “Year to date, we already see 30% decrease in wasted printing over last.” BSU visitors can also have controlled access to the Campus Printing Solution. They access the wireless ‘guest’ network, which does not include access to the Campus Printing Solution, but the visitors are able to purchase a daily guest account which will grant them access to the printing resources. “The Campus Printing Solution is a worthwhile, valuable printing solution – particularly at the price points,” concludes Faust. “It works very well and it meets our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this solution to other departments, faculties or even other institutions.”

There are a lot of things going on when an office printer is working. The first time you pick one up, the sheer number of details and the ensuing confusion might catch you off guard. Paper, ink or toner, and computer software all affect the efficiency of the printer and the longevity of the product.

Occasionally, if you work with one printer for a while, you can begin to find that is “likes” some kinds of paper and doesn’t “like” others. While one type of paper might smudge a lot, another type might cause frequent paper jams. Generally, differences between paper is due to the simple fact that manufacturers tend to make specific paper for specific printers. When you are buying paper for your printer, it is probably a good idea to look at its manual to see what the company says is the best for it. Lower costing inkjet printers don’t perform well on heavy cardstock, for instance, so if you need to print flyers or postcards, find a cardstock that is the right weight for your printer.

Keep in mind that even when you just want regular paper, you need to double check what type of printer the paper is meant for. You should make sure it’s meant for an inkjet printer. Likewise, use paper for your laser printer that is labeled “laser” or “copy” paper. Some inkjet printers even use their own individual type of ink, which may react negatively to the wrong kind of paper. Another thing is that inkjet printer paper has a tendency to be both less absorbent and smoother, which often results in a crisper image.

Specialized photo printer is usually offered by the manufacturer of a printer, and in this case, you generally should buy it from them. Many might assume that products like this tend to cost more without actually being any better, but in this particular situation, that tends to be a false assumption. Printers that print quality photos are usually made with a certain kind of paper in mind to achieve the best result for the customer. Sometimes it’s worth it to pay a little more for quality.

It can be quite a task to buy the right ink. Once you have discovered the best set-up for your printer, it’s easy to continue it; but at the beginning, it can be a little intimidating. Purchasing remanufactured cartridges to use in your printer just isn’t as bad as it used to be. Companies that refilled cartridges weren’t regulated in the past, so they tended to cause problems and sometimes even damage to printers. It frightened people and convinced them that they shouldn’t use remanufactured cartridges. However, since companies like these are now expected to maintain certain higher standards, they will occasionally offer lifetime warranties with their products. If your printer ends up damaged, and it can be shown that it was caused by their cartridges, they’ll even replace the printer for you. There’s simply not a good reason why you can’t use these cartridges. Ink is the most bought office supply other than paper, so reusing cartridges makes a lot of financial and environmental sense.

Paying attention to the printer’s owner’s manual is one of the best ways to determine exactly what printer supplies you need for your printer. From there, it is up to you to decide what is best for your situation.

Today, most of us take for granted the fact that we can pick up a newspaper, magazine, book or periodical at nearly any store and easily read it. Well, we’ve come a long way. Years ago, books and periodicals were completely handwritten. Imagine the time it would take an individual to create one single book, let alone mass quantities of it! Ah, yes, you would hear of the book, but you wouldn’t be able to get your hands on a copy for years…that is, unless of course you were one of the elite and extremely wealthy. Even then, you would likely still have to wait nearly a year for a copy to be produced.

So, how do you think it affected society and the world in general when someone finally invented a way to mass produce content? Well, let’s just say that one man’s contribution likely forged the beginnings of modern day publishing, thus giving our ancestors a reason to want to learn how to read and actually relishing the chance to own a piece of literary history.

The full name of Johannes Gutenberg was actually Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg. Although his actual birth date is unknown, it is assumed that he was born sometime in the year of 1398 in Mainz, Germany. He was the son of Friele Gensfleisch zur Laden and Else Wyrich (who was his father’s second wife).

One of the pivotal figures credited with having a hand in the European Renaissance was Johannes Gutenberg. This German born printer and goldsmith changed the publishing world forever with the invention and use of two major publishing needs; moveable type and the mechanical printing press. In fact, this man and the work that he committed himself to nearly 570 years ago is, astonishingly, still being honored today! Most recently, he was honored by Time-Life Magazine in 1997 and the A&E Network in 1999.)

The printing press was invented by Gutenberg at some point during the years of 1439 – 1449, though his ideas of the press and moveable type were reportedly revealed as early as 1440. By the year 1450, the printing press was up and running and word traveled fast. Gutenberg ended up partnering with Johann Fust. The partnership ended in a courtroom and the result left Gutenberg nearly bankrupt and his age left little time to replace what had been lost.

Then, 10 years later and 3 years prior to his death, Gutenberg’s contributions were recognized by Archbishop von Nassau. This earned Gutenberg the title of Hofmann and included grain, wine, a special court outfit and a generous stipend. Finally, he had earned a portion of the recognition he so deserved.
