Taking printers apart-- sometimes permanently, sometimes to make them work better-- can be a lot of fun. Welcome to Printerland, aka Printer Island. We're now in the middle of the Warehouse and we've got a new look. Still making lots of changes, and the space is a bit of a mess, but here goes nothing...
Just Printers?Right now we receive a wide variety of things. Receiving takes printers, scanners, faxes and anything else that looks like it deals with paper back to Printerland. Our incoming pile is in the Warehouse, just next to the door to Evaluation. How To Run Printer IslandThese are your basic responsibilities:
Sorting
TestingHere's some more specific information on how to use the computers and how to deal with specific models: Printer Testing Howto The object of the game is to get a printer to print out one of these test pages. If we can do that and it looks good, we stick that test page on the cleaned-up printer and write "Tested Ok" on the page. If we used in-house ink (ask your superviser as it's hidden), we, mark the test page accordingly. Don't forget to include a power cord, and then ask a supervisor to check it off before shipping it off to the Store or the Grant Shelves! Here is a more specific look at what to do with each kind of machine:
We also test network cards recovered from machines: RecyclingRecyclable printers and related gizmos are in the "Recyclables" gaylords in Printer Island, to be processed according to what's on the Whiteboard (3).
