With our new copiers, you can set them to double side, hole punch and/or staple.  Below is a quick screencast on how to create those settings.

Pin Tabs in Chrome - Keep important tabs right in front

Google Chrome allows you to pin a tab in the browser. Pinning a tab moves the tab to the front and locks it to the front. This can be really helpful for websites you visit a lot.  

Alice Keeler has a great blog post tutorial on how to do this.  Take a look:

Changing Staples Preferences at the Copy machine

Sometimes you may arrive at the copier and find that it out of staples (as someone nicely put a note on it and informed Janet), and you need to make sure that you can still get your job.  You can make sure that your job comes out by telling it not to staple your job.  To do this open up your queue of print jobs

Highlight the job you would like to print and click on the options button.

Be sure that the stapling option is on "no stapling."

Now press print and you are all set!
