We will assume that:

(1) You log into your Mac using your ISS/University login (your Mac account name matches your ISS/University login). Please see the email sent out to the Institute, regarding this matter.

(2) Your Mac password matches your ISS/University password. If not then then please change the password on your Mac (click on System Preferences, on the Dock; Users and Groups; Change password option. You may need to click on the padlock icon first)

As a Mac user, if you cannot remember your ISS/University password then we – IGM IT – are not able to help with this request and you need to contact the IT Service Desk, asking that your ISS/University password be reset. I have no other details about this procedure, it is carried out by our colleagues up at the main campus.

* Install the photocopier software

You can do this by visiting the Konica Minolta web site:
http://www.konicaminolta.co.uk/business-solutions/support/download-center.html

Click on Multifunctional Colour
Product = bizhub C364e
Operating system = Macintosh OS X - and then choose your version of Mac OS X
Click the download option
(usually the first link in the list is the latest version of the software)
Accept the license agreement
Click on the .dmg link

Run the software (normally saved to your Downloads folder)
Double-click the dmg file.
Double-click the drive called bizhub_
Double-click on A4 folder
Double-click on the pkg file that you see.
This installs the correct printer driver.

* Adding the copiers to your Mac

System Preferences
 Printers & Scanners
 + icon
 IP option (top row of icons)

 *Address = medson.ncl.ac.uk
 Queue = hidden
 Use: change this to select software (menu item)
 Select Konica Minolta 364e PS
 Name = IGM Copier
 Add

*Do not worry if you see a comment that the printer name does not resolve.
Ignore the message.

You will then be prompted for the following details:
Paper source unit = PC-210
Finisher = FS-533
Punch unit = none
Hard disk = ticked
Secure print only = not ticked
Allow public user = not ticked
OK

* Printing to the photocopier

IGM Copier is then added to your Mac. You do not need to worry about which copier you are sending your print jobs to.

There is, in effect, one virtual copier. You then visit any photocopier and use your smart card with it. Now that the system knows which copier you are logged into, it forwards on your print jobs to that specific copier.

You do not need to configure anything else i.e add your group name, copier codes. That was the old system, the new system uses your ISS login to identify you and your University smart card for authentication.
