If you are a student with a macOS device:


*After installing the printer from Self Service on a Mac or following the instructions below for PC print your document and select RCS_Copiers or H_Printers.
#Open '''''System Settings''''' and select '''''Printers & Scanners'''''
*If you printed to '''RCS_Copiers''', go to any copier on either campus, log in (by tapping your ID card, using the keyboard, or scanning the QR code) and release your job. It will be available at any copier you walk up to.
#In the right hand side of the window, scroll down until you see '''''Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...'''''
*If you printed to '''H_Printers''' go to 9/10 2nd floor, science lobby, 5001, or Mow 2nd floor and tap your card on the RF reader on the printer.
#Click '''''Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...'''''

You should now be able to print. If you encounter an error such as '''''Hold for authentication''''', then find a member of the Tech Team at Help Desk or around campus to help.

==Printing from an RCS-Managed Chromebook==
=== Printing on iOS ===
===Mobility Print===
There is no need to install a printer or copier on iOS. This is the easiest way to print from an iPhone, iPad, or other iOS device. This is incredibly useful if you need to print something on the go and you don't have access to your computer. You can simply select '''''rcs_copiers''''' from the list of printers as long as you're on campus and connected to the '''''RCS-Community''''' network.
To improve the printing experience for Chromebooks, we have enabled Mobility Print. We previously used Google Cloud Print which has proven to be unreliable. With Mobility Print there is a new workflow that students and employees must follow.
# Open the document you want to print
# Click on '''''Share'''''
# Scroll down and click on '''''Print'''''
# Click on '''''Printer'''''
# Select '''''rcs_copiers'''''
# Click '''''Print'''''
# When asked for a '''''username''''' and '''''password''''', enter your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''


When you print for the first time you will need to "Change" the printer to a Mobility Print enabled printer.
=== Printing on Chromebooks ===
There is no need to install a printer or copier on ChromeOS. You can simply select '''''RCS_Copiers''''' from the list of printers as long as you're on campus and connected to the '''''RCS-Community''''' network.
# Open the document you want to print
# Click on the '''''dropdown menu''''' next to '''''Destination'''''
# Select '''''See more...'''''
# Scroll down until you see '''''RCS_Copiers - [Universal]'''''
# Click on '''''RCS_Copiers''''' then click on '''''Print'''''
# You may see a popup window for '''''Papercut''''' asking for a username and password
#* Enter your '''''Riverdale username''''' and '''''passphrase'''''
#* Click '''''Sign in and print'''''.

==Basic Printer Troubleshooting==
[http://www.ehow.com/how_7270716_basic-printer-troubleshooting.html Click here] for information about basic printer troubleshooting steps you can try if you are having difficulty with a printer.  Paper jam, blinking lights, and/or nothing prints are some examples of basic printer issues.
===If a document won't stop printing===
If a job won't stop, try pressing the red "Cancel" button on the printer repeatedly, wait until paper stops printing, and then turn the printer off. (If you turn it off mid-print, paper will get jammed, and the printer won't clear itself.)

Once the job has stopped printing, remove the jammed paper and turn the power to the printer off and then on again.
