These guidelines for posting messages to Department email lists have been drafted to provide guidance so that the information disseminated in this manner is most useful to all of us.

  1. Postings should be limited to topics that are directly related to the work of those receiving the messages. In general, postings are of a one-time nature, and ongoing discussions should be moved to a small list of interested individuals.
  2. Please direct your messages to the most appropriate email list, and use cheme-all only when the information is of interest to the entire Chemical Engineering Department community.
  3. When posting a message, please write a clear and specific subject line so that recipients can read or delete messages according to their relevance.
  4. If you wish to reply to an email that you feel has been inappropriately sent to you, please respond to the specific individual who sent the email to you rather than to the entire email list.
  5. Please be sensitive to others in the environment to avoid sending email that may make some members of our community feel uncomfortable.

The Printer Name is: M66-0042-CP
The IP Address is: 18.63.0.58
The Printer Model is: Xerox Phaser 8400

Download the Printer Driver to a directory on your computer. Then double-click the file to extract the files and create a directory on the root of the C Drive called 8400w2kps.

When you install the printer and you get to the screen "Install Printer Software", choose "have disk" and find the location of the files on your C Drive "c:\8400w2kps". When you get to the next screen you have to select which printer driver you want to use, choose "Xerox Phaser 8400N PS". This will install the correct drivers for the new printer.

If you have any questions or problems setting up the printer, please contact Jean Belbin or Jim Hardsog by e-mail at cheme-computer@mit.edu or by telephone at x3-0088.
