New login procedures for computers--and note on printing

We have a new procedure for logging into the Library's computers.

Here are the steps:

1. Press "ctrl + alt + del" to get to the log-in screen:
   
2. When the log-in screen appears:
   
   • ⇒ Enter your 8-digit MUID as the User name (e.g. 10712345)
   • ⇒ Enter your birthday (YYMMDD) as the password (e.g. if your birthday is September 4, 1981, enter 810904)
     
     **NOTE** After your first log-in, you'll be prompted to change your password. Be sure to choose something you can easily remember, as you'll need it to log-on everytime you want to use library computers.
   • ⇒ Make sure "MERCERU" is selected in the "Log on to" box. Also, make sure the "dial-up connection" box is NOT checked.
   
   
3. You should now be logged on to the computer.

    4.  When you're done with using the computer please log off by going to the "start" button on the bottom left of the screen  and pressing "log off."


*NOTE ABOUT PRINTERS*  At this time the computers are defaulting to the color printer.  To make sure you can print your job in black and white follow these steps:

• Go to file menu at the top left of the browser window
• Select print
• In the drop down menu for printer name choose "BearPrint B&W simplex"

and then print as normal.  Your job will now print at one of the black and white printers.

If you have any questions please feel free to stop by the circulation or the reference desk.
