HOW TO PRINT:
- prepare your files. create a PDF of what you want to print with the following page settings: 2.23in x 3.51in 600dpi
- put that sucker on a flash drive and stick it into the eMachine desktop that sits to the right of the card printer. the computer should probably be turned on.
- VNC into it. the details are on the front of the computer.
- open up and print as normal
- NOTE: when selecting "double sided", the second side will be in monochrome. if you want both sides to be in colour, you will need to do 2 print jobs, running the card through twice. put the already once-printed card at the bottom of the stack, printed side down
TODO: put it on the network somehow so we don't have to VNC in. also a cleaning card needs to be run through this as its printing weird so if you dont want a potentially weird print wait until Tara gets the cleaning cards in and can run them through
