It is now possible for staff or students to send an email from your College email account to the College print system.  The below describes how you can do this, and what can be sent.  As this is simply using email, the below will work from both in College, or at home.

What can you send?
As well as the actual body of the email itself, you can send Microsoft Word, Publisher, PowerPoint and Excel documents as attachments.  You can also send Adobe Acrobat documents and most types of images.

How do you send them?
From your Norton College email account simply create a new email, or forward an existing email, to either:

norton-bw@nortoncollege.net
or
norton-colour@nortoncollege.net

As the email addresses indicates, this will send the document as either a mono print job or a colour print job.  Please note the process only works if you use your College email account.  Anything sent from a 3rd party email address is discarded by the system.

What happens next?
Depending on the type, size and number of attachments you’re sending, it might take a few seconds or a few minutes for the system to process your request.  Once it has done, you’ll be sent an email stating you can collect your job from a printer.  You do this in the normal way, just as if you’d sent

Does the same department (or Post 16 student) charging apply when using this system?
Yes.

The College printing system has the ability to take a paper based document, scan it and convert it to a editable Word document.  This post explains how to do this.

1.  First, logon to one of the floor standing printers (not the table standing devices in the IT Suites).  From the first menu, select SCAN.

2.  From the SCAN menu, select MY FOLDER. While all three options allow you to scan, this is only option that offers the ability to scan to Word.  Scan to MY FOLDER saves the scanned document to your network My Documents folder.

3.  Tap on the DELIVERY FORMAT button to change from the default .PDF format.

4.  As you’ll see, there are a number of formats you can choose to use.  For this exercise, locate and select WORD (.DOCX) – TRUE PAGE on page 3, then press OK.

5.  Your Delivery Format is confirmed.  Press NEXT to continue.

6.  As with any scanning, don’t forget to tap SCAN SETTINGS to scan, as the default is to scan in mono and at a low resolution.

7.  Change from TYPE (BLACK & WHITE) to TYPE (FULL COLOUR) and change RESOLUTION (200DPI) to RESOLUTION 400DPI).  These settings are a good balance between quality and file size.  Press DONE to be taken back to the previous menu.

8.   Press the SCAN button to have your paper document scanned and converted to an editable Word Document which is now saved in your My Documents folder.  Don’t forget to log off the copier!
