New Copier Follow-up

We are now in the second week with new copiers. Most of you have had a chance to use the new machine and even set it up to your liking. There is still some setup left to do in some departments, like entering email addresses to your directory to make scanning quick and easy. If you need assistance with this, please call the Copy Center at x1054 and someone will come to your department to help you. Also, please contact the Copy Center with any other questions or issues with your new machine.
