# Printing Your Own Media

Staff at Media Hub provide external media printing via MSD 1+2. 

## Acceptable paper stocks:

* Coated Bond (Matte)
* Gloss
* Silk 
* Parchment 
* NeverTear 

Stocks with various textures such as canvas, glitter, metallic are **incompatible** with the printer and are NOT to be loaded in the multi-purpose tray. Any media that contains fibers that easily are removable and can damage the printer (i.e. *glitter*) are not to be printed onto. 

Staff at ABP Media Hub will load your paper into the output tray (MSD 1&2) and then proceed to the ABP computers to set up the specifications 

Please note the MSD 1 and 2 Printers are *Fujifilm Multi-Function Devices*. They are ***Laser***** printers** in which paper should be bought accordingly.

Information regarding printer compatibility needs to be clearly visible when speaking with Media Hub staff so that it is safe to be loaded into the Multi-Purpose Tray.

{% hint style="warning" %}
We stress the importance of laser compatible paper. Any other paper stock will melt in the printer causing major damage.

### Setup

{% hint style="info" %}
Loading paper into the Multi-Purpose Tray - Article:

<https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0068-zz-CS-enGB/contents/CS5255_basic17_loadingpaperintothemultipurposetray.html>&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* Open the multi-purpose tray on the LHS of MSD 1&2
* Adjust the side glides so that the paper stack is neatly aligned between them.&#x20;

The printer will automatically generate the "Paper Output Tray" screen to set your paper size&#x20;

* If of a standard size (e.g. A4), use the Auto Recognize Size and change Paper Type according to the table below&#x20;
* If another size, click custom size and set the width and height in millimeters&#x20;
* Select the corresponding paper type on the printer and press \[OK]

## Payment

Similar to *normal* printing via MSD 1&2, you will be able to release your prints via PaperCut.&#x20;

* Press "Print" to be prompted with an instruction to enter your Student ID&#x20;
* Swipe your Student Card over the card reader

{% hint style="info" %}
If this is your first time printing, an error may display "*invalid ID".* This is a common first-time user error,  wait 5 (or so) minutes and try again.
{% endhint %}

* Then, swipe your Student Card at the PaperCut release station
* Press "Release"
* The printer should then release your work via the Output Tray.&#x20;

Paper Types according to the printer.&#x20;

## Print Preferences (PC)

In addition to your normal print preferences, make sure to set the printer *source* to "Manual Feed".
