Introduction to PCS Printers

Introduction

This is a description of the printers offered by the Physics Computing Services to the members of the Physics Department.

Available Printers:

• ps1
  B&W printer with duplex capabilty
  location: MP 1003
  model: Kyocera FS-4000DN
  URL: ps1.physics.utoronto.ca
  
• ps2
  B&W printer with duplex capability
  location: MP 058
  model: Kyocera FS-4000DN
  URL: ps2.physics.utoronto.ca
  
• ps-color1 (former ps3)
  Color printer no duplex capability
  location: MP 202 (Physics Library)
  model: Kyocera FS-C5025N
  URL: ps-color1.physics.utoronto.ca
  NOTE:
  the name ps-color1 has been changed from ps3 to explicitly indicate the fact that it prints to color and bigger charges will incur.
  

Please note that you will not be able to print directly to the printers. You will have to set your machine to print through the departmental print server: print-server.physics.utoronto.ca. To see the print server cue you can visit: https://print-server.physics.utoronto.ca:631/jobs/

Charges

This is the charging schedule for printing to the pcs printers:

• ps1 and ps2 B&W printers (MP1003 and MP 058):
  $0.07 / printed copy. There is no difference if you print simplex or duplex
• ps3 color printer in the Physics Library:
  $0.15 / printed copy. No difference is being made if you print b&w or color for now, so every copy is counted as a color copy.
