UITS Printer: Out of Order

When a student lets us know that the UITS printer on the other side of our glass is not working, we call UITS (5-3802) to report it. Before the repairman arrives, many other students may also come to you to let you know it's down. Do you find this a bit bothersome? If you're human, probably so. And since the students trying to use that printer are human too, it is also bothersome to them when it doesn't work.

If you would like only one person to report the printer down, feel free to grab a marker and a piece of paper, make an OUT of ORDER sign, and place it on the printer. That way, subsequent people who walk up to it will know right away that it's not working. When the UITS representative comes to fix it, he/she can remove your sign. (Please do not put our ready-made laminated Out of Order signs on the UITS printer, because chances are, they will walk off and we will be left with none for our own equipment.)

With your personal sign on the printer, students will be forewarned that the printer is not working and you should have less people telling you something you already know but can do nothing more about. Sound like a good thing to you?
