Printing - Setup

How do I know if the Trent Hall ePrint driver is installed?

From an open document on your computer press [File] [Print] and look at the complete list of available printers.  Do you see a listing for [ePrint-MR-Trent-BW] and/or [ePrint-MR-Trent-Color]? 

If so, the Trent Hall ePrint driver is installed on your computer.

Note: The needed driver is specifically for Trent Hall devices. If you have the OIT ePrint driver, you will still need to get the Trent Hall driver to operate the devices in Trent Hall.

 

What if I do not have ePrint?

The following files are available for installing the Trent-specific ePrint software (NetID restricted):

How Do I Use Eprint?

Sending a print job to your ePrint account

When you are ready to print, select the print icon from the application you are using or select [File] [Print].  Notice in the image below, 2 separate printers appear for ePrint-MR-Trent; one for BW (black and white) and another for Color.  Choosing this option is how you chose to print your document in color.

Once you have pressed the [Print] button a screen like the one below will appear for you to enter your NetID and press the [Print] button.

How do I get my document(s), as well as the copy, scan, and fax functions

Note: The following pages are also posted on the wall at the printer/copier/fax device.

  • You send your job to [ePrint-MR-Trent-BW] or [ePrint-MR-Trent-Color] from your computer.
  • When you approach the printer, you will see a screen like the one pictured below.
  • Touch the [Touch Here] button to start.

The screen below will appear.  When you swipe your DukeCard on the right-hand side of the device, the screen below will quickly auto fill and go away.

If you do not have DukeCard to swipe, you may use this screen to enter your NetID and then press the [OK] button (upper right).

Note: You can swipe your DukeCard with the magnetic strip in the face-up or face-down direction.

To release print jobs, touch the [Print Release] button. Use other selections for copying/scanning/faxing as appropriate. Press the arrow pointing to the right to turn the screen page and reveal the {Scan to USB] button.

If releasing prints, a screen will display showing you all the jobs you have sent to the ePrint queue (see below).  Touch the checkbox on the screen to select the job(s) you would like to release next to the name of the document(s) or select [Print All] and press the [Print] button.

Your session will logout automatically after one minute, but please press the [Logout] button at the top-middle of the screen (see below) to logout so others may use the device.
