CED print costs are approved by a Cent ra l Campus Miscellaneous Student Fee (MSF) committee.

Any charge to students are submitted for review and are approved (or not) by the MSF committee - made up of members f rom student groups & faculty reps.

The print fees CED charges were submitted and approved between the years 2010 - 2012.

Since 2012 no printing increases have been submitted to the MSF Committee.

All increases (other than sales taxes) in our costs have been absorbed through cuts in ot her areas; sales taxes are changed as required by Law.

What do you get with a $98 Computer Account?

• Access 24/7 to Wurster and the Computer Labs (214 & 479) outside of instructional activities

• Access to high-end computers and 27” HD monitors

• Access to all the software you require for CED classes on those computers

• Access to computers in satellite areas such as the Studios, DCRP Lounge, etc.

• NEW Access to a very fast Rendering Farm to off-load large rendering efforts

• Cloud printing from your laptop to studio laser printers or #477

• Access to HP, Xerox, Canon color or b&wlaser printers and plotters

• NEW Access to a new specialty photo quality HP plotter (#477) or Epson printers (#214)

• Access to tabloid and large-scale (in #477) scanners

• Access to high-end plotter paper cutters on the Studio floors

Computer Labs

All CED Student computers in labs, studios, & lounges have similar hardware & peripherals and the same software image

No food in Computer Labs– You will be publically kicked out of the Computer Lab – Do it multiple times & your Computer/Print accounts and Lab access

will be terminated without a refund!– Drinks with lids okay (for now)– But you have to clean up after yourself or we may stop all drinks as well

Instruction in Computing Labs

Vacate 5 minutes prior to the start of a scheduled instructional activity

• Students must not remain in the Lab if they are not taking the class

• Computing Lab schedules are posted on the web: http://ced.berkeley.edu/resources/computing/lab-schedule/

How to make fellow Students & our Lab Manager upset

• Locking multiple Lab computers – generally for rendering, use the rendering farm (it will render faster than our computers)

• Pulling power plugs – and thus powering down all the computers or printers

• Saving to the computer hard disk and filling up the drive so that computers cannot function – this will cause the computers to “break” and the only solution is to reimage and all your data (and anyone else’s) will be lost!

Computer Lab Logout (20 minutes)• This is a security issue• If you leave a computer while still

logged in, people will sit in your seat and access your data including:– Health info (HIPPA)– Credit card info (PCI)– Social networking & Personal info (PI)– Print Accounts ($)– Student data (FERPA)– Etc.

• Computers log users out completely if the mouse or keyboard has not moved for 20 minutes

• There is a 2 minute warning• You will loose all unsaved data and

all applications will close

Bypassing Security/Access • There are consequences for trying to hack into, bypass, or

compromise CED’s access, computer or printer systems, or security in general:– Publically kicked out of the facility, loosing your work– Loosing your Computer Lab & Printing access (without refund)– Loosing access to ALL CED facilities for a semester (without refund)– Reported to Campus’s Student Conduct for further disciplinary actions

This is NOT

okay!

Papercut: CED’s Print Management System

1) Printing management system• Printing costs are deducted from this system• Tracks your use of funds and can move $ to friends accounts• Used to pay for 2D printing, DFL’s 3D prints, and to pay for Materials Store shopping

2) Add funds in 477 if you are having on-line “gateway” problems

3) Add funds online using PaperCut– https://ced-iit-paper.ced.berkeley.edu:9192– Do not use CED computers for personal on-line transactions– As a safety precaution, use your own personal devices

Computer account: Cloud Printhttps://ced-iit-paper.ced.berkeley.edu:9192/user

Cloud printing = printing from your laptop to studio laser printers (NOT plotters)Must have Computer Lab access for this to workPrinters labeled by room number & specific settingsB&W laser printer in 477 (pick up job before every Sunday)

#1 Online Gateway problem• To add funds online, PaperCut requires an address• Use the EXACT address where your bill is sent

– e.g., use St. if that is on the bill, not ST or Street

Un-used print account funds

Continuing students: Any unused print funds left in PaperCut will roll over to the following semester or year. Tied to your calnet login account.

Graduating students: Move all your CED print funds back to your Card by 31 May in the year you graduate or leave

– Must be done in person at #477– If you leave funds in your accounts beyond 5/31

• 60% of all non-claimed amounts will be given to the Undergraduate Fee Waiver Program to help other students, and 40% to help subsidize the Materials Store

SPRING: Same process as Fall• There are still fees, but no need to redo the general orientation once authorized for access

SUMMER: Same process as Spring

Every semester someone …Gets in trouble by not following one of two DFL rules

• Users must watch Laser Cutters at all times– We have had several fires caused by distracted users– Not following this rule will mean potential loss of DFL use– Leaving the DFL with a Laser operational is immediate loss of DFL use

• Do not allow non-authorized people into the DFL– Ask staff first if you want to bring someone in– If a Grad allows an UG entry during Grad times, both will loose DFL access

The policies regarding DFL use is based on the imperative that we keep the machines operational; since these are limited resources, when they are down everyone suffers and the costs to repair, maintain and replace are high
