These instructions are for University provisioned Windows 10 laptops.
Please note that University Common Desktop PCs (both Windows 7 and 10) will automatically add the photocopiers as a printer called ‘IGM Copier’.
If you are using a private/personal laptop (Windows 7, Windows 10, Apple, or Linux), please come and see us in room B245, 2nd floor, BioMedicine West building, for further advice.
