Student Accounts for 15-16 are ready!

Student accounts for the 15-16 school year are ready!

Q1. How can I activate my student account?

A1.  You have two options…

Option #1:  Activate your account from home...  visit: https://www.google.com  

Click on SIGN IN.  You will be prompted for your full email address (your @wdmcs.org address) Your initial password will be the same as your user name and in lowercase only (which is the part of your email address that comes before the @ symbol) If you aren’t sure what your user name is, please see question #3.   Once you are logged in, the system will force you to change your password.

– or –

Option #2: Activate your account at school…   When you get to school, log in at a desktop computer (or a laptop from the laptop carts) (using your user ID, and then the same ID again for your password, again lowercase only). The system will force you to change your password as soon as you log in.  By changing your password to something unique – the system will activate your computer account and your Google account.

 

Q2.   What is the format of the username (aka user ID)?

A2. It’s the same format we’ve always used that includes first initial of your first name, first initial of your last name and student number.  If you have a nickname identified in Infinite Campus, then that takes precedence over your first name initial.  Here’s an example:  Elizabeth Johnson, student number 12345.  She actually goes by Beth instead of Elizabeth, so her username is  BJ12345.  If she didn’t have a nickname identified in Infinite Campus, then her username would be EJ12345.  

 

Q3. My username/password isn’t working –  how can I verify what my username is?

A3. Log into Infinite Campus, click on CONTACT PREFERENCES –  in the Secondary Email Address field is your @wdmcs.org student email address.  The part before the @wdmcs.org is your username.

 

Q4.   Once I change my password to something unique –  what is that unique password associated with. . . just my computer log in?  My google login? Or both?

A4.   Once you change your password, that new password is now used for BOTH your computer login and your Google account.   However, this DOES NOT replace your Infinite Campus password.

 

Q5.   My Google email address used to be @wdmtigers.org –  what is it now?

A5.   All staff and students use “@wdmcs.org”  as part of their email addresses.  This change was needed as part of implementing New Tech Networks at some of our schools.

 

 

FAQ’s about the new copiers

Q1. How do I stop a job if it’s printing and I realize it’s not right?

1. In the lower-right of the LCD screen, tap Job Status.
2. Your job will be listed at the top of the screen.  Tap it to select it, then tap Delete.

 

Q2. How do I log out when I’m done using the machine?

On a Toshiba Copier

• Press Access under the number pad, then confirm yes on the screen.
• You may also tap the Function key twice, then confirm yes on the screen.

On a Lexmark Copier

• Tap Home, then Log Out.

 

Q3. How do I know how much money I have left at the copier?

When you scan your badge, it will show the remaining amount balance. Each impression is $.005.  Starting the year with $25.00 means you be able to print 5,000 impressions (in other words, 2,500 double-sided sheets of paper).

 

Q4. How do I clear a jam?

The images on the screen will guide you. If you followed all directions, and it’s still jammed, turn it off and back on to reset the sensors. If it still jams, a step was missed. Follow the directions again, and if it’s still giving errors, please call LRI’s phone number printed on the copier.

 

Q5. What sizes of paper are available?

LT = Letter 8.5×11
Available at both Toshiba and Lexmark copiers
LG = Legal 8.5×14
Available with Toshiba copiers only
LD = Ledger 11×17
Available with Toshiba copiers only.

 

Q6. What is the cost per page at the Print Shop

A6. The cost at the Print Shop is lower than the $.005 per impression – and it includes the paper and delivery.  It will always be more cost effective to send your print jobs to the Print Shop versus doing it yourself at the copier.  

 

Q7. When I use up my $25 allocation, how do I get more?

A7. Contact your supervisor and request an account code that you can use to add funds to your copier account.  Once you have your supervisor’s approval, send the request and account code to Brian Abeling (abelingb@wdmcs.org).

 

Q8. When I send a fax, I notice that it logs me out right away –  how can I send multiple faxes without getting logged out?

A8.   Sorry, but we have not found a way to stop the automatic log off after a fax.  Currently, you will need to log in again to send your next fax.  As an alternative, we encourage you to scan to email (sending it to your own email and then forwarding them on via email).
