Our mailroom copier is a TASKalfa 8001i copier that prints, copies, faxes, scans to PDF and emails. Below you'll find the links to the drivers for either Macintosh, Windows or Linux:
Important caveat: Due to security needs I've limited access to this printer from only department IP's and the Campus VPN. If in doing the below steps you get an error that the printer can't be found you will need to first connect to the campus VPN. If you need the VPN software you can download it from HERE. Once on the campus VPN you'll will be able to connect to the printer.
Additional note: Our old copy codes formatted for 7 digits are now 6 digits. The change has been made from our old 001 or 002 (teaching and research respectively) to 01 and 02. (i.e. your code for teaching should resemble this: 123401.) Also, note that 'research' has been replaced by 'personal'
