CEC Copy Center / Print Jobs
How do I send print jobs to the CEC Copy Center?

These copies do not count against the $50 annual allocation. To send print jobs to the CEC Copy Center, select the printer destination: Canon PRISMAdirect
Note: Do NOT *Upload* files to PRISMA. Uploading files to PRISMA from the Staff Resources page can cause issues with your print job (e.g., the scale % increases and part of the document can get "cut off" beyond the page margins).
How do I request "sets" of copies for each teacher on my grade level team?
For example, if there are five (5) teachers on the 2nd grade team, one teacher can submit a print job for 25 copies. In the "Remarks" text box, the teacher will type "5 sets of 25" and receive 125 copies, separated into 5 sets of 25 copies.
