BL0-Plotter Instructions for MacOS
- Christopher Papa
In order to protect staff and students accounts from the higher cost of large-format printing, to prevent accidental or unauthorized print jobs, North Park requires additional approval steps in order to print on the BL0-Plotter printer. Currently, printing is only available by using the iMac in Brandel 214. If you would like to install the BL0-Plotter printer drivers on your university-managed Mac, please contact the IT department.
YOU MUST HAVE THE PCCLIENT APP OPEN TO PRINT ON THE BL0-PLOTTER PRINTER!
Open the PCClient app from your applications folder.
You can confirm PCClient app is running, by hovering over its icon in your menu bar at the top of your screen. Your user name and balance will appear. (The icon is often white, and will be hard to see if your background is lightly colored).
After you select to print a document, you should see a “Hold for Authentication” status in your print queue. Click on the reload button on the far right.
