Printer Naming Conventions
Printer names are formatted with 3 parts: the school name, printer location, and printer model.
Ex. Printer name is “CHS-202-M404”. This name indicates the printer belongs to CHS, is located in Room 202, and the model is “M404”.
- When your printer is installed, a pop-up should appear saying [printer name] was installed. The printer name will also be added to the list under the My printers section on the left side of the menu. You are now ready to print!
- When you go back to the page you were trying to print, be sure to close and reopen the print settings pop-up (sometimes new printers won’t show up unless you do this). If you still don’t see the printer, be sure to select See more… under the printer options.
