BER is the only known library with this setup.)
  • Email address associated with the printer
Manual printing by libraryAlma sends print jobs to an existing library/user email account (e.g. lamcirc@fas.harvard.edu). Library staff must print emails either manually or by setting up an email client rule.
  • Email address to receive print jobs
Namtuk: Automated printing to a non-email-enabled networked printer using third-party print management solution.Alma sends print jobs to a dedicated email address hosted by LTS (e.g. lamcirc@hulmail.harvard.edu). Mail is routed through a third party print management system (Namtuk AEM) and automatically printed to an existing networked printer at the library.
  • Printer IP address (must be static)
  • Printer make and model (e.g. HP 4015dn)
  • Alma Circ and TS locations that should be printed to this printer
  • Library unit's IT field support contact (for questions)
