Documentation:Botany WorkCentre 6400 Multifunctional Printer in Beaty Bio-Diversity Research Centre

From UBC Wiki


General Information

The Xerox WorkCentre 6400 located in Biodiversity Research Centre (Room 229) is one of the three multifunctional printers for the Department of Botany. In addition to Botany members in the building, this machine is also available for Zoology and Beaty Museum users. In order to use these three multifunctional machines, you will need to download the application form here, fill it in, have it signed by your supervisor(if your supervisor has the signing authority for the speedchart on the form) or departmental administrator (if the speedchart is a departmental speedchart) or yourself (if you are the principal investigator and has the signing authority for the speedchart), then return it to the Botany main office (Room 3529, Biological Science building). An account will be created for you and your 7 digit UBC employee number will be your account ID. You will be required to type in your account ID before you can print or copy with the machine. All account IDs will be linked to one or several speed charts that your supervisor or departmental administrator has authorized you to use. We synchronize user accounts between all three printers. If you already have access to other Botany multifuntional printers, you don't have to apply again. But you will need to install the driver for this multifunctional device in order to print.
