Using the Ricoh Devices
Please follow the steps below to enable printing and copying on Ricoh devices:
- Select the appropriate print queue.
- Associate your Brandeis ID card with a Ricoh Printer for papercut printing release.
Select the Appropriate Print Queue
The Ricoh student printer driver(s) for Windows devices are installed using a program downloaded by going to the following website, go.brandeis.edu/mobileprinting and for Mac devices they can be installed using the Printers & Scanners feature while the computer is connected to eduroam.
Windows Print Queues
- Go to go.brandeis.edu/mobileprinting and press the Download Mobility Print button as seen below.
An installer will be downloaded. After the download is finished, double-click on the installer and press Yes on the prompt that comes up after double-clicking the installer.
- After clicking "Yes", you'll be asked what language to use for the installation. The default language is English, but you may change it if need be.
Click I Accept on the End User License Agreement (EULA) on the following screen. Then click Next.
Please wait one minute while the installer retrieves the printer list. After the printer list populates, check the checkboxes next to Brandeis Student B&W [pcutstud-ap-prd] and Brandeis Student Color [pcutstud-ap-prd].
Enter your Brandeis username and password on the following screen to log into the network. Click Next for the printer drivers to be installed on your computer.
The names of the printer drivers on your computer will be Brandeis Student B&W and Brandeis Student Color.
Mac Print Queues
- Click on the Apple button on the top left of your screen and click on System Settings in the dropdown menu.
Search for Printers in the search bar and click on Printers & Scanners to be taken to the proper menu to install the printer drivers. In the new menu on the right-hand side of the screen, click the Add Printer, Scanner or Fax button.
To install the printer driver from the list, click the printer you need and click add. (For black and white, select brandeis student b&w and ensure the location is pcutstud-ap-prd in the location field; for color, select brandeis student color and ensure the location is pcutstud-ap-prd in the location field.)
- The selected printer driver will be installed on your device. To install the other Ricoh printer on your device (if you only installed black and white and want to install color or vice versa), follow steps 2 & 3 again and select the Ricoh printer driver you did not choose earlier.
Associate Brandeis ID Card with Ricoh Machines
Card association is a simple process that involves swiping your Brandeis ID card and entering credentials stored for further use. Please follow the steps below to associate your Brandeis ID card with the papercut reader.
- Go to the Ricoh printer and locate the card reader. Swipe your Brandeis ID card. A screen asking for your username and password will populate.
- Using the keypad, enter your Brandeis username and password. Do not include @brandeis.edu - this will prevent your ID from associating with the card reader.
- Your card is now ready to use.
Scanning & Faxing
Free scanners are available in the InfoCommons on Level 1 of Goldfarb and on the Farber Mezzanine. The scanners can send documents via email, upload to cloud storage, or save to a USB driver. One of the scanners also has faxing capabilities. See the Library Information and Borrowing Desk for information.
