When a document is printed to Sam Houston Press & Copy Center’s Canon CLC 900 copier/printer, it is not actually printed out at that time. What will happen is that, with the normal Print command on a Mac or PC, you will "print" one copy of a job to the Hold Queue of the networked ColorPASS 5000 unit which controls the CLC 900. After the proper paper work is submitted to us, we will then make sure the correct stock is loaded, and print it with our software controls.

When "printing" a job to the CLC 900, please make sure that the following instructions are used:

1. Generate proper paperwork and submit to Sam Houston Press & Copy Center.
2. Make sure that all paper sizing is correct in *all* dialog boxes in the application.
3. Print only one copy to the CLC 900, we will tell the machine how many copies to actually print.
4. Call us to verify that the document was sent correctly to the ColorPASS unit.
5. We will print one copy of your document after receiving the proper paperwork for you to approve before printing the complete number of required copies.
6. Customers are required to pay for any reprints that are not the fault of Sam Houston Press & Copy Center and/or not due to network problems.

If you have any problems or questions, please contact us at lkp001@shsu.edu
