Imbriano: Adds Skill Swap section and link to new page

Welcome to the (new) HCIL wiki. This wiki replaces the previous and very outdated one. This new wiki uses the MediaWiki package whereas the old wiki was a TikiWiki. '''Do not add new content to the old [[http://hcil.cs.umd.edu/wiki/tiki-index.php TikiWiki]]. Add all new content to this wiki.''' Log in with your UMD Directory ID and credentials to edit.

= Brown Bag Lunch =
The HCIL community has an open semi-organized weekly "brown bag lunch" where we eat and discuss something about someone's work or a topic of current interest to the HCIL faculty or students. This might be a software demo or review, a study design, a proposed research topic in an early stage, an introduction to a new person, etc.

= Old Pages (Not migrated from TikiWiki) =

'''The following pages have not been migrated from old list of "Top Pages" in TikiWiki, probably because they seemed very out of date and no longer maintained or no longer needed.''' They were part of the above list on the old TikiWiki. Some of these pages will be replaced with new versions, but are ''currently'' are out of date, so they were not migrated (''e.g.,'' the HCIL Symposium 2013 page will eventually be replaced with a new HCIL Symposium 2014 page). If you would like to access content on these pages, please migrate it from the [http://hcil.cs.umd.edu/wiki/tiki-index.php previous HCIL TikiWiki] then move it to the list above. These are included here for reference, hopefully so to ease, to some extent, making the corresponding pages in the future.

Printing

Imbriano: Update Mac Printer Setup instructions.

'''Printer Functionality'''

* Color duplex laser printing from the network or USB flash drive (30 pages/minute)
* Black and white duplex laser printing from the network or USB flash drive (30 pages/minute)
* Printing is up to 2400 x 600 dpi
* Flatbed and duplex feed scanning to USB, over the network, or email
* Scanning is up to 1200 x 2400 dpi
* You can also directly copy materials (using the flat bed scanner or duplex scanner)

== Printing in Black and White ==

Our black and white printer is a Brother HL-5450DN Laser Printer (yes, we give Brother lots of money). It has automatic duplexing (just like the color printer). We prefer that you use the black and white printer for a majority of your printing and the color printer for your publication submissions (e.g., to investigate how a chart or figure looks printed in color).

'''IP Address: 128.8.225.52'''

If you need to install the printer, specify the printer using its ip address: 128.8.225.52 and select the Brother HL-5450DN driver (or a generic postscript driver). If you have problems, see Anne Rose to get the installation CD or download it online.

== Printing in Color ==
[[File:CodyPrinter.png|thumb|Cody with the new printer.]]

We now have a duplex color laser printer in the HCIL: the Brother MFC-9970CDW to be exact. Here's a link to the manual (PDF). Please be aware that printing in color is more than twice as expensive as printing in black and white so please use this printer conservatively.

This is a multi-function laser printer that also scans (yes, scans) documents. The scanner is both a flatbed scanner and a duplex feed scanner so you can scan two sides at once (yes, I know, amazing!).

== Windows Printer Setup ==

* Go to "Start->Devices and Printers"
* Click "Add Printer"
* Select "Add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer"
* Click "The printer I want isn't listed"
* Click "Next"
* Enter 128.8.225.92 as the hostname or IP address (you don't have to fill in port name, it will fill automatically)
:: Wait...a long time...
* You will get a prompt saying "additional port information required". Click "Next"
:: Wait...a long time...
* Choose "Brother" in the "Manufacturer" column
* In the "Printers" column, select "Brother MFC-9970CDW" if it is listed. If it is not, click "Windows Update" and wait...a long time... Then select "Brother MFC-9970CDW".
* Click "Next"
* Enter a name for the printer then click "Next"
* Finally, click "Finish"

== Mac Printer Setup ==

You can add printers in two ways:
# From the System Preferences -> Print and Scan -> '+' (Below list of prints on the left)
# From a print dialog box -> Printer Drop down -> Add Printer

Both options get you to the Add Printer dialog.

* Click on the IP icon
* Select Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol - IPP
* Enter in "128.8.225.92" for the address
* In the lower section, for 'Name' feel free to use whatever name you'd like but including something like "Brother MFC-9970CDW" might be a good choice.
* Select Print Using: "Select Print Software" -> "Brother MFC-9970CDW CUPS"
::''If this option isn't available, you may need to download it from the link provided below''
* Click Add

===== Downloading Drivers =====
* Download the CUPS printer driver (from [http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us_ot/en/dlf/dlf/000000/004500/dlf004512.html?reg=us&c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc9970cdw_all&type2=1&os=115&flang=4&dlid=dlf004512 here])
* Double click and install the dmg (the BrotherCLDrivers.pkg)

= Toner Ordering =
Amazon has a selection of high-yield replacement toner cartridges with yields of approximately 3,500 pages rather than 1,500 (it makes sense to purchase the high-yield cartridges because they offer better value):

= Administration =

Thanks to Cody Dunne for helping me setup and configure the printer (it required some heavy lifting and some clever network hacking to get it to work). We locked down the touchscreen "Menu" icon so that you have to enter a password to change the configuration (we did so mainly because we had to setup a number of things and we didn't want them accidentally changed). However, if you need to update a configuration setting, use this password: 2117.
