5 Tips for Printer Management With Your Classroom Management Software

The printer management feature of your classroom management software can be a great feature to help reduce waste and eliminate disruptions to lectures due to printing. 

5 Tips for Printer Management

1. Pause Printing During Lessons - The Pause feature allows the teacher to temporarily disable printing during a verbal lesson and then resume once the lecture has been competed.
2. Assign Printers To Students - The Printer Assignment feature allows the teacher to select which printers students have access to and at what times.  This means that if you are in a drafting or engineering lab, you have control over when students can print on those costly to operate printers.  
3. Keep Track of Pages Printed - Keep track of the number of pages each student has printed.  Many schools charge students per page.  This is a nice automated feature that will eliminate the need for you to count each individual piece of paper that has been printed. 
4. Set Printer Thresholds - Set the amount of pages each student can print before needing approval from the teacher.  For example, any job over 15 pages must receive teacher approval.  Or any job over 25 pages will automatically be deleted.
5. Block Printing - Are you teaching a lesson that students will not need to print during?  Block them out from printing entirely by using this feature.
