Scanning and Copiers

Scanning and Copiers

In most public printer spaces in Warren Weaver Hall and 60 5th Avenue you will find a multi-function copier with copying, scanning, and printing capabilities. The multi-function copiers are named "mf" followed by the number of the floor in the building they are on. For example, the multi-function copier on the 10th floor of Warren Weaver Hall is named "mf-10". Specifically you will find these multi-function copiers in these following locations. Unlike the HP Printers in the same spaces, the multifunction devices are part of the NYU-wide printing infrastructure.

Use of the multi-function copiers is restricted to members of the Courant community who have authorized access to Courant computing resources or have been given tap access to the copiers because they have a role in teaching Courant classes.  If you need guidance on utilizing the different functions of the machine please send mail to helpdesk@cims.nyu.edu, but most functions are straightforward and self-explanatory once you are logged in to the device.  

Further information on these Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) can be found on this following page: NYU Print Service for Departments

 

How to Mount Your Web Directory to a Multi-Function Device (MFD)

In this instruction set, we will show you how to save a mounted folder in your Address Book.

It is highly recommended to save a mounted folder in your Address Book first -- as we explain with this instruction set -- as otherwise this entire process must be repeated for each scanning session.  

Note: By default, the MFD's Scanners will break up documents into 25MB-sized files, as 25MB is the size limit on attachments in Gmail. Be aware that scanning documents in Black and White mode (the default scanner setting) will result in a smaller sized scanned document file when compared to a Color equivalent. 

  1. Tap your NYU Badge on the Card Reader mounted on the MFD
  2. Press Cancel to exit out of automatic cloud print screen.
  3. Select "More Device Functions"
  4. Tap the right facing arrow (>) 
  5. Select Address Book --> Register 
  6. Within Register, you will be filling out the Name tab and the Destinations tab according to these following specifications 
  7. In the Name tab, fill out the Name * Required field, where you will enter the desired name of this programmed destination.   
  8. In the Destinations tab, select "Folder". Within this "Folder" window, please enter the following informaton:  
    1. Protocol: SMB (send to Shared Folder on PC) 
    2. Path: \\fs-u1.cims.nyu.edu\<your NetID>\optional-folder-name\ 
      • For example: \\fs-u1.cims.nyu.edu\abc123
    3. Folder Authentication Info: Specify Other Authentication Information 
    4. Username: ad.nyu.edu\<your NetID>
    5. Password: NYU Home password 
  9. Once you have entered your information, the Connection Test button can confirm that the information you have entered is correct. 
    • If successful, you should see "Connecting to the destination has succeeded." Tap Exit. 
  10. You should now see the path you have entered next to the Folder field. Tap OK to finish registering this destination folder within your Address Book. 
  11. At this point in time we are ready to scan. 
  12. Tap the Home icon at the bottom of the screen, then click on the left facing arrow to return to the "More Device Functions" screen.  
  13. Select Scanner (Classic) 
  14. In this Scanner window, tap on the Folder tab. You should now see the name of the Folder you have recently saved in your address book. Tap on it to confirm it as a scanning destination.
