For a few days prior to the beginning of instruction, (August 23-24) and for the first week of instruction, (August 27-31), a copy machine in Student Activities has been assigned for walk-up service for Faculty requiring immediate assistance. Please use this location for walk-up copy requests as Litho cannot guarantee immediate service due to high levels of production during this time. This temporary service is located just North of the Bookstore.

For questions regarding this matter please contact Litho at ext. 6740 / 6742.
Please do not contact Student Activities as this department is not responsible for copying.

EMAILING DOCUMENTS

An on-line web form is available at www.chaffey.edu/printrequest. This site may be saved in your favorites and easily accessed for future use. The electronic file formats accepted are: PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher.
NOTE: There may be some font and formatting changes when sending documents in file formats other than PDF. In order to convert your files to PDF, you must have the full Adobe Acrobat that contains Distiller (NOT the free Reader).

If the web form cannot be accessed for any reason, you can send your request to the department email address which is printshop@chaffey.edu. You must include all required information on job specifications in the email to prevent delays in printing. Please include a phone number where you can be contacted with any clarifications about your request. Also, be sure to check your email for replies from us regarding questions or problems with your job.
When sending multiple jobs in a single email, files will be printed separately unless stated otherwise.


REQUISITION TIPS

Filling out your requisition completely and legibly prevents delays in printing! (If you use regular email in lieu of the web form, you must include the same information that is on the paper requisition.)

The following information is necessary to process your order promptly and efficiently:
  • Full Name
  • School AND Department (what you teach, such as math or sociology)
  • Extension or phone number where you can be reached in case clarification is needed to complete your job.
  • Mark ALL appropriate boxes in the job specifications section.
  • “Deliver to” means delivery location (not your name) such as your building and room number. If you are going to pick up your job, just write Pick Up in that space.

OTHER TIPS AND HELPFUL INFORMATION

In an effort to be “environmentally friendly” and to cut costs, we encourage the use of two-sided copying for multiple-page documents whenever possible.
If one-sided or two-sided is not marked on the requisition, it will be printed two-sided!


When sending tests online, be sure to delete answer keys in the document or state in the special instructions to omit them when printing. THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR WANTS THEM ATTACHED FOR A STUDY GUIDE, SO BE AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE SO YOUR DOCUMENT IS PRINTED CORRECTLY.

When emailing extremely important documents, it’s always wise to have a backup copy on a flash drive or hard copy with you in case there is a problem. COMPUTERS ARE NOT FAIL-PROOF! Things DO go wrong occasionally.

Get familiar with the copyright rules for educational use by reading the booklet included in your faculty handbook. There is also a link to a PDF file on-line.
