New Copiers
Copiers, Hardware Tagged Copiers No Comments »After fielding repeated concerns from users in various forums, IT went actively solicited feedback from administrators and office staff in every building about the current convenience copiers. Using that feedback, we have negotiated a new contract we believe will alleviate the burden some convenience copiers have become. Exciting features of the new contract:
* Brand new copiers in every existing copier location
* Environmentally conscious technology (recyclable toner cartridges, etc.)
* Better and faster support
* Multiple training opportunities and avenues
* Increased page-per-minute speeds (50-60 pages-per-minute depending on the model)

Starting mid-January, we will begin a one-to-one swap of every Ricoh copier in the District. Wherever there is a Ricoh copier today, it will be replaced with a new one. Copier additions or location moves will not be completed during this project.
The copiers will be brand new, producing pages up to 40% faster per minute and come with automatic self-adjusting drawer recognition.
Each new copier will be configured with collating, stapling and hole-punching capabilities as well as scanning and network printing.
What’s the plan?
On the day of installation at your site, an instructor will run 2-3 brief (15 minutes) training sessions to get key staff some exposure to the new copier. Subsequent trainings will be scheduled during school staff meetings or other times that are convenient for the school staff population. It is imperative that ALL users accessing the copier have some form of training, either in the form of hands-on instruction or paper documentation.
If you have questions or concerns, please speak with your building administrator or office personnel. If you have technology questions, please feel free to contact the IT Service Desk at x3375 or by email at itservicedesk@pps.k12.or.us.
