Changes to copiers and change machine

The following is a message regarding changes in May 2013.
No more change machines in the main library system.
Gerstein had its 7 copiers reduced to 4.
Our Loan Desk no longer provides change for any reason.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We now have a total of 4 photocopiers in Gerstein.  Three are located on the corridor outside Resource Sharing and one is in Short Term Loan.  The copiers on 2 below and level 3 of the journal stacks have been removed.

Two can be used for scanning, one is in Short Term Loan and the other is the first in line in the corridor outside Resource Sharing.

One copier is coin operated.  It is in the middle of the group of three.

Please remember that we do not provide change for copying purposes.

Public Photocopiers - Double-sided copying.
It is possible to do this but it is awkward and more likely to produce a jam.

Putting a piece of paper through a copier twice is more likely to cause a jam when the paper has just come out. I think this is because of the tremendous amount of heat used to bond the ink to the paper and the resulting curl on the paper. So if the page is not nice and flat like a fresh piece...it doesn't go through the copier as well.

To do double-sided, there is a feeder tray on the right side of the machine. It is folded up, so must first be pulled out and down to open it.
The risk here is, the user has no way on knowing 'how' they must place the sheet in the feeder so the copies will come out on the correct side or position on the paper. So tell them they can do it if they don't mind wasting a few copies on 'experimenting' with how to position the paper.

Photocopy Service

Sent to all Gerstein staff, 05 April 2005:

This is to notify you of a change in service, which is now complete.

1. The staff assisted colour copying service is now replaced by a self-serve colour printer, located opposite the Information Desk in the public area. This means 2 things:

a) Users can print in colour from the network, and pay using their T-card or copycard, as they do for black & white printing. Prices are $1.00 per page for colour, 20 cents per page for premium black and white.

b) There is no more colour photocopying at Gerstein. Those requiring a colour photocopy will need to sign the material out, subject to our normal rules. Please note, Robarts no longer provides a colour copy service, so users will most likely need to take the material off campus.

The colour copier will be removed from the Booth shortly.

2. There is no longer a staff assisted photocopy service on the weekends. Users requiring staff assisted copying can fill out a request form, and leave the form and the material to be copied with staff at the Information Desk. Information Desk staff can then take the material to the low ‘Photocopy Desk’ inside Resource Sharing, for processing on Monday.

Photocopy request forms for use by the public are pink, and are available in the drop-off box at the Photocopy Desk, Monday to Friday, and at the Information Desk in the rolling file under ‘photocopy forms’. Turnaround time for staff assisted copying is normally within 4 hours (Monday to Friday).

Please contact me if you have any questions. Helen Michael, Coordinator, Resource Sharing
