Printer and scanner

Must be installed and fully functional by Month 1; must be completed before PD session #9.

For Comprehensive eMINTS PD only.

Minimum specifications

• eMINTS students and teachers must have access BOTH to a black & white laser printer AND to a color printer
• Color LaserJet All-in-One (Print, Scan, Copy) is acceptable if the scanner has a flat bed that opens so users can scan books, magazines, etc. without removing the pages. All-in-one printers with only a single-sheet feeder for scanning are not allowed.
• 600 x 600 dpi for print and copy
• 1200 x 1200 dpi for scanning
• Print drivers should be PS and PCL compatible.
• Choose the option that will meet specifications above with the least expensive ongoing costs for ink/toner supplies.

Note: Teachers and students must have access to a printer that produces black and white as well as color printing. Access may be provided by a networked printer as long as it is very easily accessible to the teacher AND the students. It may not be located in the office or a location the students cannot easily access – or that would require students to have a hallway pass. No more than two eMINTS classrooms may share a printer unless their class sizes are fewer than 20 students.

It is not necessary to purchase two separate printers, only to insure that both black & white and color printing capabilities are available.
