Printing Method | Description | What LTS needs in order to configure |
|---|---|---|
| Email-enabled networked printer | Alma prints directly to an email-enabled network printer that has its own email address. (BER is the only known library with this setup.) |
|
| Manual printing by library | Alma 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. |
|
| Namtuk: Automated printing to a non-email-enabled networked printer using third-party print management solution. | Alma sends print jobs to a dedicated printing-only email address managed by LTS (e.g. wid-printer-1@exchange.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. |
|
| Alma Quick Print | Alma sends print jobs through the browser's print dialog menu – user must click/key through the print dialog box every time. |
|
| Alma Printouts Queue | Alma provides options to allow printouts, slips, and letters to be aggregated in a print queue and printed from your browser. Using this option, instead of sending printouts to an email address assigned to the printer, the printouts will be saved in the printouts queue, which can be accessed at any time by authorized staff to review and send the relevant printouts to a printer via the browser. For information on printing in Alma and the printout queue, watch Printing (3:22) |
