+ | ====== Fax Machine(s) ======= | ||
+ | The RAD Lab has a fax machine in 465B Soda by the Front Entrance [1]. It also serves as a color scanner and does light duty as a [[tech/printers|printer]] and small volume copier (really small volume). | ||
+ | There are also faxes in the two administrative offices that one can ask to use during business hours if this one is unavailable. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The phone number is listed on the front of the fax machine (not listed here to avoid harvesting by fax spammers - yes they do still exist). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Scanners ======= | ||
+ | There are two color scanners one can use in the RAD Lab | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The Fax/Scan/Printer in 465B works as a scanner via the (occasionally missing) USB cable and via a network scanning function: | ||
+ | * add [[http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc8860dn_all|software drivers appropriate to your OS/platform]] | ||
+ | * Windows: select the "Full Driver & Software Package" - this comes with its own scanner interface | ||
+ | * OS X: select the "Scanner Driver" (The "CUPS Printer Driver" is optional for scanning support) - this also comes with its own scanner interface | ||
+ | * Linux: select the "brscan2" scanner driver for your distribution (RPM or deb) from Brother's [[http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html#brscan2|Linux site]] | ||
+ | * this provides the ''brsaneconfig2'' command that ties into the scanner system ([[http://www.sane-project.org/|SANE]]) that many linux systems use. | ||
+ | * register the scanner (called scan465b for this example) using the ''brsaneocnfig2'' command: | ||
+ | * ''% brsaneconfig2 -a name=scan465b model=MFC-8860DN ip=128.32.132.242'' | ||
+ | * This allows applications using the SANE protocol, such as ''gimp(1)'' or ''xsane(1)'' to interface with the scanner. | ||
+ | * The scanner has a scan->email function, but the way it works is not compliant with campus security standards, so we did not set that up. | ||
+ | * If you would like to scan something and have it sent directly to an email address, read further about the 374 Soda copy machine. | ||
+ | * There is an HP scanner about halfway down the hall that can be used as well (Driver installation may be necessary) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally: | ||
+ | * Randy has a color scanner on the drawer unit by his shelf - ask him if you can use it | ||
+ | * The copy machine in 374 Soda also serves as a B&W/Grayscale scanner that can e-mail the scans to you. | ||
+ | * This requires a [[tech:faxscancopy#photocopy|valid copy card]], but it doesn't need any funds on it - it's just needed to unlock the copier interface. | ||
+ | * Further instructions are posted by the copier in 374 Soda. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Photocopy ====== | ||
+ | * For small jobs - like a couple of pages - you can use the Fax/Scan/Printer in 465B. | ||
+ | * For larger copy jobs, use one of the EECS copy machines in 374 Soda. | ||
+ | * A valid copy card with funds on it is required. | ||
+ | * The RAD Lab copy card is kept in a well known location | ||
+ | * For copy jobs related to teaching EECS Instructional courses, please make use of [[http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Resguide/acad.shtml#instsupport|Departmental Resources]] | ||
+ | ====== ====== | ||
+ | [1] Yes, having a fax machine right by the front door to the RAD Lab is perhaps not the best idea ever, but it was the only place we had to put it. |
