  • Printing to our sharp copiers is relatively simple.  To start with, you will need to pull up the document you would like to print and proceed as per normal.  To select the printer you’d like your document to print to, you will need to look for a printer that ends with “on LOGAN”.  All of the copiers in the district are being labeled on the front of the copier, the same as they are showing up on the list of printers, to prevent confusion.

    Once you select the copier you would like to print to, press “Print”, and you will receive a new dialog box that you may not have received before.  You will need to enter your User Number in the “User Number” box (9 followed by your ID number).  To do this, check the box next to “User Number” and enter your code.  Also, check the “Always Use This User Number” box so that you don’t have to put in your number every time you print.

    When you approach the copier you’ve selected to print your document to, you will notice that your job has not printed yet.  You will need to physically go to the copier, input your code, open the “My Folder” button, select the job you’re trying to print, and tell it to go ahead and print.

  • Our Sharp copiers can scan a document and email it to you so you can put it in your Google Drive, save it to your computer, or add it to your Google Classroom!  To do this, simply place the document on the scanner, as you would any normal document.  Then, sign in to the copier using your unique copier code (9 followed by your ID number).  Select the “E-Mail” option.

    From here, you will need to keyboard, which is located underneath the screen.  Reach under the screen and pull out the keyboard so that you can type on it.  Please be gentle when doing this!

    Select “Touch to input Address” on the screen, and then type in your entire email address using the keyboard.  Whatever you are scanning will be sent to the address you entered.

    Next, enter a subject into the “Subject” line.  A good subject line helps lessen the chances of Google identifying it as spam.

    If you already scanned something into this copier, or sent a print job that you would also like emailed, you can select the “File Name’ line and choose the file stored in your “My Files” folder on the copier.  Please note that selecting a file PREVENTS the scan from occurring, as it assumes you only want to send the file, not the scanned document.

    Press the “Start” button in the bottom-right corner of the screen to scan and send the document.

  • There is an easy fix for this, since each Sharp Copier is its own entity; it needs specific information to accomplish the jobs it’s given. So each copier needs your user number (9+Employee ID # … ex. 91234) for it to acknowledge that the job is being sent by a valid user.

    This is the copier's pop up window requiring access settings.

    Simply enter the data in the circled section, and the copier should start working for you.

    One last thing to remember is that each Sharp Copier is campus-specific, so only personnel on that campus have been added to the authorized user list. If you’ve changed campuses, you’ll need to submit a work order to have your information added to the list (please include your User Number in the work order).

  • To solve this issue, simply go to the Eduphoria sign-in page, enter your email address in the section designated for it, then click on the “Forgot Password” link just below the “Sign In” button. Eduphoria will send an email to the provided address with a temporary password that you can use to sign in for the first time, and you can change it to something easier to remember.

  • This is actually not uncommon and is Google’s way of trying to protect the accounts of people who use it. While the body of the email is a canned response that has been set up to be sent automatically, the part that probably got your attention the most is this:

     

    Google's blocked sign in attempt review.

     

    What this means:  Is that somebody tried to sign into your account in an area that Google’s analytics doesn’t find normal. In this example (while a bit hard to read), the access attempt originated in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Since we’re all residents of the great state of Texis and our most frequent use is here, Google found that strange and refused to allow the sign-in attempt.

    The best thing to do if you receive one of these messages is to immediately change your password, as the email suggests. A good password doesn’t need to be overly complex. In truth, a passphrase is much better, since the longer a password is, the harder it is for most automated tools to figure out. For example (please do not use this):   if you happen to be a dog lover, the simple phrase “I love dogs and hate cats” can be a strong passphrase that’s easy for you to remember. Simply capitalize the first letter, then add a couple of numbers or a symbol in place of some of the letters, and you now have a strong passphrase that can make life difficult for the people who aim to misbehave.  Ilo<3dogsandh8cats
