Our new wireless setup does not have a key for us to provide, instead it authenticates your connection with the same credentials that you use to log into college computers.

Students: choose the wireless network labeled MVCC Public, and when you go to try to use a browser it should redirect you to a page that will ask you for your username and password. Use the same username and password that you use to log into the campus computers and/or your email account.

Employees: follow the same procedure as students with one exception, use the wireless network labeled MVCC Employee. You will also be prompted for a username and password, use the same one that you use to log into your work computer.


That said, sometimes things just don't work like they are supposed to; if you are having trouble connecting bring your device to us in AB155(Utica) or PC 128G(Rome) and we will help you get connected.

 

Adding printers is now really easy (provided nothing goes wrong : ). All you have to do is right click on your start button (windows icon next to the search box) and select "Run" from the pop-up menu.  In the Open: box, type \\papercut\. This should open a window - double click on Kyocera Printer. This will install the driver to print. When it is finished, you will see a pop-up box that is showing the print que.

We do not currently support this functionality.

Most of the college's printers are high capacity models and they will begin to complain about the toner being low when there are still over 1000 prints left. For this reason, we ask that you do not call us about toner replacement until it actually starts printing light. As a general rule, we have all types of toner that the college uses on hand so there is no need to worry about calling it in early to make sure that it is available.
