<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Make a backup of your mail. This can be done by simply using the export feature of many mail programs. You can also [[use md2mb]].<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. The math library also has an assortment of VGA video cables which can be used to connect a PC, Macintosh computer or iPad to a projector. One of the projectors has built in speakers and a DVD player. It also has two microphones which can be connected to it. WARNING: the laptops available for check out are very old and have only basic software (MS Office, TeX) on them. It is far better to use your own computer with the Department's projectors.<br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />
Here is Derek's contact information:<br />

<br />
B107 is an instructional computer lab featuring 21 speedy (2.8 GHz, 2 gb RAM) Windows PCs --each PC has network access and Maple, Matlab, and MSOffice programs-- a ceiling-mounted projector connected to the instructor's computer, and an HP B&W Laserjet printer with duplexer. To reserve this room, please contact Joan Wendt at paulson@math.wisc.edu.<br />
<br />
You can check out the key for the room from the Math Library.<br />

<br />
During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.cups.org/ cups guide] for more detailed information on printing with cups.<br />
Click on the links below to learn how to use each function with the Ricoh copiers.<br />
<br />
== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones added. '''NOTE''': if you forget your copier code, login to one of<br />
the math department linux PCs and type '''whatsmypin'''.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

TeX and LaTeX are supported on the Math Department computers. To learn more about<br />
Typesetting with LaTeX we recommend the following [http://www.latex-project.org/guides/books.html site]. Mediawiki has some support for LaTeX<br />
as the following example shows:<br />
<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />
You can find more examples at [http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-cli-examples/ pdftk-examples]<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
Answers to some common computer problems<br />
<br />
1. If you forgot the code you need to use the copiers, login to one of the department's linux PCs, open a terminal window and type 'whatsmypin'.<br />
<br />
2. 'Macintosh users'. Sometimes the internet connection on a Mac will <br />
freeze. If this happens, click on the following"<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />
You can find more examples at [http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-cli-examples/ pdftk-examples]<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
Answers to some common computer problems<br />
<br />
1. If you forgot the code you need to use the copiers, login to one of the department's linux PCs, open a terminal window and type 'whatsmypin'.<br />
2. 'Macintosh users'. Sometimes the internet connection on a Mac will <br />
freeze. If this happens, click on the following"<br />

<div>===Adding the Ricoh Printer to a Mac===<br />
There is a Ricoh MFP C4501 copier on floors 3-8 of Van Vleck. Note that in order to print to them your computer should be connected to the Van Vleck network via a wired connection and your username on your computer should be the same as your Math Department username. You <br />
can configure your Macintosh to print to these printer/copiers by following the steps below:<br />
<br />
# Download and install the [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~ynagel/r47026L9.dmg Ricoh Aficio C4501 driver]. '''Note:''' you will need to have at least MacOS 10.5.<br />
# Set up the printer by clicking on Apple -> System Preferences -> Print and Fax. The display below shows how to<br />
setup the 7th floor Ricoh printer:<br />
[[Image: MacPrintSetup.jpg]]<br />
<br />
If you prefer to do this via a command line, do the following (after downloading and installing the driver)<br />
(This example sets up the 5th floor printer)<br />
<br />
Open a terminal window and type the following commands<br />
*sudo tcsh<br />
*(then type an administrator password)<br />
* lpadmin -E -p 5 -v ipp://printserver2.math.wisc.edu:631/printers/5 -P "/Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP C4501"<br />
* cupsenable 5<br />
* cupsaccept 5<br />
<br />
===Hints===<br />
NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and you would like to print to our copiers you must do<br />
the following:<br />
* connect to our network with a WIRED connection - there are free ethernet connections<br />
in our two labs.<br />
* The username (aka short name, Account name) and password on your mac must be the same as your math dept username.<br />
<br />
If your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:<br />
lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf<br />
(where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username. <br />
NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)<br />
OR you can change your short username using these instructions<br />
http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html<br />
See the section with this title<br />
The middle ground: changing just your short username<br />
<br />
By default, files will print in B&W. To print in color, do this<br />
1) save or print the file as a PDF - say file.pdf<br />
2) from a terminal window on your mac type<br />
<br />
lp -d N -o ColorModel=color file.pdf<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Make a backup of your mail. This can be done by simply using the export feature of many mail programs. You can also [[use md2mb]].<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. The math library also has an assortment of VGA video cables which can be used to connect a PC, Macintosh computer or iPad to a projector. One of the projectors has built in speakers and a DVD player. It also has two microphones which can be connected to it. WARNING: the laptops available for check out are very old and have only basic software (MS Office, TeX) on them. It is far better to use your own computer with the Department's projectors.<br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />
Here is Derek's contact information:<br />

(608) 516-5993<br />
* '''Computer Classroom''' <br><br />
<br />
B107 is an instructional computer lab featuring 21 speedy (2.8 GHz, 2 gb RAM) Windows PCs --each PC has network access and Maple, Matlab, and MSOffice programs-- a ceiling-mounted projector connected to the instructor's computer, and an HP B&W Laserjet printer with duplexer. To reserve this room, please contact Joan Wendt at paulson@math.wisc.edu.<br />
<br />
You can check out the key for the room from the Math Library.<br />
* '''Digital Camcorder''' <br><br />
<br />
There is a Canon Vixia HG20 Cam Corder in the Math Library which Math faculty and Graduate students can check out to film Math Events such as conferences, PhD defenses, etc. Use your faculty/staff ID card to check it out.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.cups.org/ cups guide] for more detailed information on printing with cups.<br />

<br />
== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones added. '''NOTE''': if you forget your copier code, login to one of<br />
the math department linux PCs and type '''whatsmypin'''.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />

<div>== AUDIO-VISUAL EQUIPMENT ==<br />
<br />
The department has the following equipment available to use for teaching and other presentations:<br />
<br />
* '''Computer Presentation Projector''': The department has compact, light weight projectors that can be connected to the video output of almost any notebook computer. It can be signed out from the Math Library. You will need your student or staff ID. If you are going to use this, it would be a wise idea to try it in advance, both to make sure it works properly with your computer (very likely) and to see how you will have to rearrange the furniture in your classroom (also very likely!). The math library also has an assortment of VGA video cables which can be used to connect a PC, Macintosh computer or iPad to a projector. One of the projectors has built in speakers and a DVD player. It also has two microphones which can be connected to it.<br />
<br />
* '''Digital Camera''': A digital camera is available for departmental use. Send e-mail to ynagel@math.wisc.edu if you want to use it.<br />
<br />
* '''Electronic Lecture Halls''': Rooms B102, B130. The rooms have conventional chalkboards but everything else is controlled through a touch panel on the stage. The screens are arranged so that you can project images, e.g. computer output, that your students can see at the same time that they see you and your writing on the chalkboards. You can control basic lighting, and use the chalkboards, with little special knowledge. (The Receptionist has a one-page write-up on how to do this.) If you wish to do anything more (including using the microphone) you should attend the introductory session that you will be invited to if you are scheduled to teach in this room. You will need a passcode and a key to use the audio/visual system. The equipment includes a projector mounted to the ceiling that can project computer output, video tapes, DVDs, and the output from the document camera. The document camera can be used with traditional transparencies as well as printed or hand-written material on paper, or sections from books or journals. To get a key and passcode, please contact classroom media Support ([mailto:ddombrowski@fpm.wisc.edu Derek Dombrowski]) at 265-9697.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': The equipment does not include a computer: If you wish to use a computer in this room you are expected to bring in a notebook computer and connect it to the equipment in the console.<br />
<br />
Rooms B223 and B231 are equipped similarly to B102 and B130, except that they do not have microphones. There are tutorial sessions and Derek is the resource.<br />

* '''High-tech Rooms''': Classrooms B102, B130, B223, and B231 have additional special equipment. You will need both a key and passcode to use this equipment. High-tech rooms also can project videotapes & DVDs using built-in equipment. Also see http://www.wisc.edu/support for more information specific to these classrooms. If you have any questions, contact Derek.<br />
<br />
* '''Microphones and PA Systems''': The large lecture halls (B102 and B130) have amplifiers and microphones to assist you in being heard by the several hundred students who may be in classes in these rooms. In each case the microphone is kept in the locked equipment cabinet on the stage of the lecture room. See the section on high-tech rooms.<br />
<br />
* '''Other Equipment''': Videotaping equipment, audio tape/ CD players, and other items are available from a couple of campus resources: The LSS (Learning Support Services) office of the College of Letters and Science (http://lss.wisc.edu/) and DoIT (Division of Information Technology) (http://www.doit.wisc.edu/). Many items from LSS are free, most from DoIT have to be paid for. See DoIT’s website to arrange this.<br />
<br />
* '''Overhead Projectors''': Several portable overhead projectors are available from the Receptionist. (The overhead projectors are the old-fashioned kind, not computer projectors.) Please reserve projectors in a timely fashion rather than assuming one will be available at the last minute. There is also a portable overhead projector in the storage closet (room 905) on the 9th floor which is convenient for use in the seminar rooms. The small lecture hall B239 has a permanently installed overhead projector. <br />
<br />
* '''Lecture halls''' B102, B130 and classrooms B223, B231 have electronic equipment which includes a “document camera” that replaces an overhead projector. The document camera can project from traditional transparencies or from written or printed material on non-transparent media. See the section on high-tech rooms. Equipment in the 4 rooms listed above is maintained by the University. Contact the Classroom Media Support Specialist, [mailto:ddombrowski@fpm.wisc.edu Derek Dombrowski], tel: 5-9697 for service.<br />
<br />
* '''Slide Projector''': A Kodak Carousel projector for mounted 35mm slides is available in room B128. The sign-out sheet is in room 213.<br />
<br />
* '''B107''': A High-Tech Classroom is maintained by the Math Dept. This classroom has 20 computer workstations (PCs running Windows 2000), each of which can be shared by two students. It also has a computer at the front of the room for the instructor, and a projector so that students can see what is on the instructor’s screen. The students’ and instructor’s computers are connected to the internet. There are two printers in the room and accessible from any of the computers. (One of the printers is a color printer.) There is a whiteboard, much of which is usable even while projecting computer output. Software available in B107 includes: Windows: MS Office (Word, Excel, Access), Matlab, Maple. Linux: Matlab, Maple. The Utility key allows access to this room. Please do not assume the room will be available on demand. Check ahead and sign up in Room 213! If you will be using it regularly for an extended period you can reserve it, e.g. for a certain time every Monday and Wednesday all semester, or you can sign up to use the room for just certain specified times. For technical information, see the Computer Administrator. For room reservations, see the Receptionist.</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Computer_Help&diff=3504Computer Help2012-02-14T19:43:33Z<p>Ynagel: /* TeX/LaTeX */</p>

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />

=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Make a backup of your mail. This can be done by simply using the export feature of many mail programs. You can also [[use md2mb]].<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

<br />
During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />
<br />
See the [http://www.cups.org/ cups guide] for more detailed information on printing with cups.<br />
Click on the links below to learn how to use each function with the Ricoh copiers.<br />
<br />
== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones added. '''NOTE''': if you forget your copier code, login to one of<br />
the math department linux PCs and type '''whatsmypin'''.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

TeX and LaTeX are supported on the Math Department computers. To learn more about<br />
Typesetting with LaTeX we recommend the following [http://www.latex-project.org/guides/books.html site]. Mediawiki has some support for LaTeX<br />
as the following example shows:<br />
<br />
<math><br />
\int_{[0, 1]^n} <br />

<br />
==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />
You can find more examples at [http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-cli-examples/ pdftk-examples]</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Computer_Help&diff=3503Computer Help2012-02-14T19:42:39Z<p>Ynagel: /* TeX/LaTeX */</p>

Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones added. '''NOTE''': if you forget your copier code, login to one of<br />
the math department linux PCs and type '''whatsmypin'''.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />

This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />

* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Make a backup of your mail. This can be done by simply using the export feature of many mail programs. You can also [[use md2mb]].<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />

== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones added. '''NOTE''': if you forget your copier code, login to one of<br />
the math department linux PCs and type '''whatsmypin'''.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Make a backup of your mail. This can be done by simply using the export feature of many mail programs. You can also [[use md2mb]].<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />

== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones <br />
added.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

==Manipulating PDF files ==<br />
<br />
The ''pdftk'' toolkit provides several useful tools for manipulating PDF files without using<br />
Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are some examples:<br />
<br />
1. This command will split off the first 15 pages of the file NSFProposal.pdf and save it to 'front.pdf'. Substituting 'cat 16-end' for 'cat 1-15' will save the second half of the file.<br />
<br />
pdftk NSFProposal.pdf cat 1-15 output front.pdf<br />
<br />
2. This command will merge two (or more) pdf files:<br />
<br />
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf<br />
<br />

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />

copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
== Supplies ==<br />
If the printers run out of paper, please get more paper from the Copy Center on the second floor<br />
and place it in the printers. If you are unsure how to do this, ask the computer staff for assistance. For assistance with other problems (no toner, paper jams, etc. ) see Hieu Nguyen<br />
in 507 (for issues with the Ricoh copiers) and Sharon Paulson in the receptionists' office (for<br />
help with the printers in B127 and 101b). <br />

== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones <br />
added.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />

lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge file.pdf (duplex along short edge instead of long)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1 (print just page 1)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1-4,7,9-12<br />
<br />
<br />
You can combine these commands, for example:<br />
<br />
lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge -o ColorModel=color file.pdf (useful for printing tri-fold brochures)<br />
<br />
'''lpoptions'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpoptions command to save these options for later use. For example, you might want to do color printing to the printer on another floor, reserving the printer on your own floor for the normal grayscale prints. This command will ensure that anything you send to the 5th floor printer will be printed in color:<br />
<br />
lpoptions -d 5 ColorModel=color<br />
<br />
your lpoptions commands are saved in the file ~/.cups/lpoptions. Typing '''lpoptions''' by itself will show you what your current printer setup is.<br />
<br />
'''Checking the queue and cancelling jobs'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpstat command to check the status of a queue and cancel to cancel jobs<br />
<br />
lpstat -d5 -t (checks jobs on queue 5)<br />
cancel 5-241 (deletes job 5-241 from queue 5)<br />
<br />
You can also cancel jobs using the printer icon which will appear in the top right hand<br />
corner of your screen when you start your job. To do this, open the printer icon, right<br />
click on your job and select cancel (not delete).</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Using_a_Ricoh_Printer_on_a_PC&diff=2908Using a Ricoh Printer on a PC2011-10-20T19:03:05Z<p>Ynagel: /* Adding the Ricoh Printer */</p>

<div>===Adding the Ricoh Printer===<br />
<br />
Printing to the Ricoh printers from a Windows PC is not as straightforward as it is for linux or MacOS X.<br />
Here are the preliminary steps"<br />
<br />
* First, go to this [http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/downloads.aspx Ricoh-site] and type<br />
Aficio MP c4501<br />
to download the driver. Select the appropriate operating system and follow the instructions to install it.<br />
<br />
* Next, make sure your laptop is connected to the Van Vleck network with a wired connection and your<br />
username on your laptop is the same as your math dept username<br />
<br />
* Login with an administrative account on your PC (contact the computer staff if you do not have administrative<br />
rights on your PC. Set up TWO print queues to the printer on your floor as follows:<br />
<br />
'''The Samba method''':<br />
Use the Windows print setup Wizard, but instead of browsing for a printer, type<br />
\\printserver1\queue_name (for example \\printserver1\3 for the 3rd floor printer)<br />
where queue_name is either your floor number (3..8) or a (101b), b(B-127) or c (101). <br />
Before you do this, make sure that you have the appropriate printer driver installed on your computer. For the<br />
copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver. For printers a, b, or c select<br />
HP laserjet 4300<br />
<br />
NOTE: the SAMBA method will ignore all choices you make about duplexing, color, etc. and just<br />
print the raw data<br />
<br />
'''The CUPS method''':<br />
Use the Windows print setup Wizard and enter this web address:<br />
http://printserver1:631/printers/queue_name (for example http://printserver1:631/printers/3 for the 3rd floor printer)<br />
For the copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver.<br />
<br />
NOTE: the method described above will give you B&W duplexed printing. For B&W single-sided<br />
printing use:<br />
<br />
http://printserver1:631/printers/queue_name+s (for example http://printserver1:631/printers/3s for the 3rd floor printer)<br />
<br />
Assign different names to these printers - e.g. S3 for the Samba 3rd floor printer and C3 for the cups version. What we<br />
have found is that the samba queue will print a color page in color even if you configure it to do black and white and<br />
the CUPS queue will print everything in black and white only. To avoid extra page charges, use the cups queue for most<br />
printing and the samba queue when you want a color page. (You will be charged 20 cents for every color page).</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Examples&diff=2882Examples2011-10-18T21:18:13Z<p>Ynagel: </p>
<hr />
<div>'''A sampler of lp commands'''<br />
<br />
If you use command line to print, send only postscript or pdf files to the copier. The basic command is<br />
<br />
lp file.pdf<br />
<br />
By default, you will get duplexed (long-edge), grayscale prints if you print to the copiers. Some useful options are<br />
<br />
'''Examples:'''<br />
<br />
lp -d P file.pdf (send file to printer P - e.g. P=5)<br />
lp -o sides=one-sided file.pdf (to each page on one side only)<br />
lp -o ColorModel=color file.pdf (print in color)<br />
lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge file.pdf (duplex along short edge instead of long)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1 (print just page 1)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1-4,7,9-12<br />
<br />
<br />
You can combine these commands, for example:<br />
<br />
lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge -o ColorModel=color file.pdf (useful for printing tri-fold brochures)<br />
<br />
'''lpoptions'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpoptions command to save these options for later use. For example, you might want to do color printing to the printer on another floor, reserving the printer on your own floor for the normal grayscale prints. This command will ensure that anything you send to the 5th floor printer will be printed in color:<br />
<br />
lpoptions -d 5 ColorModel=color<br />
<br />
your lpoptions commands are saved in the file ~/.cups/lpoptions. Typing '''lpoptions''' by itself will show you what your current printer setup is.<br />
<br />
'''Checking the queue'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpstat command to check the status of a queue and cancel to cancel jobs<br />
<br />
lpstat -d5 -t (checks jobs on queue 5)<br />
cancel 5-241 (deletes job 5-241 from queue 5)</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Using_a_Ricoh_Printer_on_a_Macintosh&diff=2877Using a Ricoh Printer on a Macintosh2011-10-18T15:14:56Z<p>Ynagel: /* Hints */</p>
<hr />
<div>===Adding the Ricoh Printer to a Mac===<br />
There is a Ricoh MFP C4501 copier on floors 3-8 of Van Vleck. Note that in order to print to them your computer should be connected to the Van Vleck network via a wired connection and your username on your computer should be the same as your Math Department username. You <br />
can configure your Macintosh to print to these printer/copiers by following the steps below:<br />
<br />
# Download and install the [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/downloads/r47026L9.dmg Ricoh Aficio C4501 driver]. '''Note:''' you will need to have at least MacOS 10.5.<br />
# Set up the printer by clicking on Apple -> System Preferences -> Print and Fax. The display below shows how to<br />
setup the 7th floor Ricoh printer:<br />
[[Image: MacPrintSetup.jpg]]<br />
<br />
If you prefer to do this via a command line, do the following (after downloading and installing the driver)<br />
(This example sets up the 5th floor printer)<br />
<br />
Open a terminal window and type the following commands<br />
*sudo tcsh<br />
*(then type an administrator password)<br />
* lpadmin -E -p 5 -v ipp://printserver2.math.wisc.edu:631/printers/5 -P "/Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP C4501"<br />
* cupsenable 5<br />
* cupsaccept 5<br />
<br />
===Hints===<br />
NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and you would like to print to our copiers you must do<br />
the following:<br />
* connect to our network with a WIRED connection - there are free ethernet connections<br />
in our two labs.<br />
* The username (aka short name, Account name) and password on your mac must be the same as your math dept username.<br />
<br />
If your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:<br />
lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf<br />
(where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username. <br />
NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)<br />
OR you can change your short username using these instructions<br />
http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html<br />
See the section with this title<br />
The middle ground: changing just your short username<br />
<br />
By default, files will print in B&W. To print in color, do this<br />
1) save or print the file as a PDF - say file.pdf<br />
2) from a terminal window on your mac type<br />
<br />
lp -d N -o ColorModel=color file.pdf<br />
where N=3..8 is the number of your floor</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Teaching_Resources&diff=2876Teaching Resources2011-10-18T01:28:57Z<p>Ynagel: </p>

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />
Here is Derek's contact information:<br />

ddombrowski@fpm.wisc.edu<br />
(608) 265-9697<br />
(608) 516-5993<br />
* '''Computer Classroom''' <br><br />
<br />
B107 is an instructional computer lab featuring 21 speedy (2.8 GHz, 2 gb RAM) Windows PCs --each PC has network access and Maple, Matlab, and MSOffice programs-- a ceiling-mounted projector connected to the instructor's computer, and an HP B&W Laserjet printer with duplexer. To reserve this room, please contact Joan Wendt at paulson@math.wisc.edu.<br />
<br />
You can check out the key for the room from the Math Library.<br />
* '''Digital Camcorder''' <br><br />
<br />
There is a Canon Vixia HG20 Cam Corder in the Math Library which Math faculty and Graduate students can check out to film Math Events such as conferences, PhD defenses, etc. Use your faculty/staff ID card to check it out.<br />

<br />
During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />

== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones <br />
added.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />
<br />
5. How to create a multi-page PDF document: Most people will want<br />
to create a multipage PDF scan of their document (instead of the <br />
default which is a single page TIFF document). To do this press the<br />
SCANNER button to the left of the display. Select SEND FILE TYPE/NAME<br />
in the left hand column of the display, then select MULTI-PAGE -> PDF<br />

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Dealing With Spam ===<br />
All Math Department mail accounts are configured with spam filtering. Messages that are clearly spam are automatically placed into a folder named 'spam' within your account. Messages placed in this folder are automatically deleted after 15 days. Users are encouraged to check their spam folder periodically to ensure that valid messages (known as ham) are not being sent to this folder.<br />
<br />
You can teach the sspam filter to be more efficient by following the directions on the page titled, [[Teaching the spam filter to be more efficient]].<br />
<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department placed new Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners on floors 3-8. We will also switched from LPRNG to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />

Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones <br />
added.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />

* First, go to this [http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/downloads.aspx Ricoh-site] and type<br />
Aficio MP c4501<br />
to download the driver. Select the appropriate operating system and follow the instructions to install it.<br />
<br />
* Next, make sure your laptop is connected to the Van Vleck network with a wired connection and your<br />
username on your laptop is the same as your math dept username<br />
<br />
* Use the Windows print setup Wizard, but instead of browsing for a printer, type<br />
<br />
\\printserver1\queue_name<br />
where queue_name is either your floor number (3..8) or a (101b), b(B-127) or c (101). Before you do this, make sure that you have the appropriate printer driver (HP 4050 or HP 4300) installed on your computer. For the<br />
copiers on floors 3..8 select Ricoh Aficio MF C4501 PS as your printer driver. For printer a,c select<br />
HP laserjet 4300</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Troubleshooting&diff=2536Troubleshooting2011-09-07T16:24:15Z<p>Ynagel: </p>

<div>What to do if your job does not print<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': if the red light is lit on the start button, there is a problem (usually no paper) <br />
<br />
a. Check the status of your print job with one of these commands<br />
lpq -P N (where N is the floor you sent the job to)<br />
lpstat -t<br />
b. Check that there is paper in the tray. If not, get a ream of<br />
paper from the copy center and put it into the top tray. If you<br />
are uncertain about how to do this, ask the computer staff in 507<br />
for help.<br />
<br />
c. It may be that your job was formatted for a different paper<br />
size (usually A4). In this case, press the printer button on<br />
the left. You will see a dialog box saying that the job calls<br />
for a non-standard page size. Select one of the trays (usually<br />
tray 1 or 2) to try to force it to print on lettersize paper.<br />
<br />
d. If there is a paper jam, please ask Hieu in 507 to fix it and<br />
try sending your job to another floor.<br />
<br />
e. If all else fails cancel your job. For example, if lpstat -t<br />
shows your job as<br />
<br />
5-27 .....<br />
<br />
then type '''cancel 5-27''' to cancel the job.<br />
<br />
'''Special note for 101 users.''' <br />
The printer in the 101 computer lab is named "a". It seems to default <br />
to printing from tray 1 (the manual feed tray). DO NOT USE this tray <br />
(it is fragile and may break). Instead, press the button with the check<br />
mark on it to select tray 3 (the bottom tray). Ignore the message about <br />
letterhead paper. Make sure that tray 3 has paper.</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Troubleshooting&diff=2535Troubleshooting2011-09-07T16:23:24Z<p>Ynagel: New page: What to do if your job does not print '''NOTE''': if the red light is lit on the start button, there is a problem (usually no paper) a.

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

== '''Facilities''' ==<br />
<br />
The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />

<br />
During the summer of 2011, the department will be replacing the HPLJ 4300s on each floor<br />
with newer Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners. We will also use CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) instead of LPRNG on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />

== [[Ricoh Copier FAQ]] ==<br />
<br />
Only people with computer accounts in the UW Math Department will be allowed to use the Van Vleck Ricoh copiers. If you have a math account, you will receive a code to use for copying. These <br />
codes will be mailed out once a year in September after old accounts are deleted and new ones <br />
added.<br />
<br />
1. You copier code is only required for copying. Although the<br />
default display shows the copier login, you do not have to login<br />
in order to print or scan. Just push the buttons at the left<br />
to select the scanner or printer function.<br />
<br />
2. Your code can be used on any of the copiers on floors 3-8.<br />
Do not use the copiers on the second floor. They are reserved<br />
for the administrative staff.<br />
<br />
3. After you have finished copying, do not touch the display.<br />
Your login will time out after 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
4. Everyone with a math dept account is allowed 250 free copies<br />
and 250 free printed pages per month (on the union of all the <br />
copiers on floors 3-8). At the end of the month,<br />
these are zeroed out. You can not carry over unused pages to the<br />
next month. Printing and Copying charges are described at the URL<br />
above. Note that you will be charged for each side of a duplex<br />
printed page. You may also be charged more for larger pages.<br />

<div>===Adding the Ricoh Printer to a Mac===<br />
There is a Ricoh MFP C4501 copier on floors 3-8 of Van Vleck. Note that in order to print to them your computer should be connected to the Van Vleck network via a wired connection and your username on your computer should be the same as your Math Department username. You <br />
can configure your Macintosh to print to these printer/copiers by following the steps below:<br />
<br />
# Download and install the [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/downloads/r47026L9.dmg Ricoh Aficio C4501 driver]. '''Note:''' you will need to have at least MacOS 10.5.<br />
# Set up the printer by clicking on Apple -> System Preferences -> Print and Fax. The display below shows how to<br />
setup the 7th floor Ricoh printer:<br />
[[Image: MacPrintSetup.jpg]]<br />
<br />
If you prefer to do this via a command line, do the following (after downloading and installing the driver)<br />
(This example sets up the 5th floor printer)<br />
<br />
Open a terminal window and type the following commands<br />
*sudo tcsh<br />
*(then type an administrator password)<br />
* lpadmin -E -p 5 -v ipp://printserver2.math.wisc.edu:631/printers/5 -P "/Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/Resources/RICOH Aficio MP C4501"<br />
* cupsenable 5<br />
* cupsaccept 5<br />
<br />
===Hints===<br />
NOTE: if have a personal Macintosh and you would like to print to our copiers you must do<br />
the following:<br />
* connect to our network with a WIRED connection - there are free ethernet connections<br />
in our two labs.<br />
* The username (aka short name, Account name) and password on your mac must be the same as your math dept username.<br />
<br />
If your local username is different from your username in the Math Department, you can print using a command like this:<br />
lp -d P -U <yourusername> file.pdf<br />
(where P is the name of the printer (e.g. 5) and <yourusername> is your username. <br />
NOTE that you can only print postscript or PDF files)<br />
OR you can change your short username using these instructions<br />

<div>'''A sampler of lp commands'''<br />
<br />
If you use command line to print, send only postscript or pdf files to the copier. The basic command is<br />
<br />
lp file.pdf<br />
<br />
By default, you will get duplexed (long-edge), grayscale prints if you print to the copiers. Some useful options are<br />
<br />
'''Examples:'''<br />
<br />
lp -d P file.pdf (send file to printer P - e.g. P=5)<br />
lp -o ColorModel=color file.pdf (print in color)<br />
lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge file.pdf (duplex along short edge instead of long)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1 (print just page 1)<br />
lp -o page-ranges=1-4,7,9-12<br />
<br />
<br />
You can combine these commands, for example:<br />
<br />
lp -o sides=two-sided-short-edge -o ColorModel=color file.pdf (useful for printing tri-fold brochures)<br />
<br />
'''lpoptions'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpoptions command to save these options for later use. For example, you might want to do color printing to the printer on another floor, reserving the printer on your own floor for the normal grayscale prints. This command will ensure that anything you send to the 5th floor printer will be printed in color:<br />
<br />
lpoptions -d 5 ColorModel=color<br />
<br />
your lpoptions commands are saved in the file ~/.cups/lpoptions. Typing '''lpoptions''' by itself will show you what your current printer setup is.<br />
<br />
'''Checking the queue'''<br />
<br />
Use the lpstat command to check the status of a queue and cancel to cancel jobs<br />
<br />
lpstat -d5 -t (checks jobs on queue 5)<br />
cancel 5-241 (deletes job 5-241 from queue 5)</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=Examples&diff=2515Examples2011-09-02T18:13:03Z<p>Ynagel: </p>

<div>'''Computer Help'''<br />
This is a guide to the computer facilities, services and software available at the Math department of the University of Wisconsin. Most of the facilities are for department's the faculty, graduate students and staff. Those who do not have Math department accounts may use the two kiosk PCs located at the north B1 entrance (facing Ingraham hall) or the PCs located in the Kleene Math Library on the B2 level of Van Vleck hall. Our older guide is [http://www.math.wisc.edu/computing here].<br />
== Accounts and Policies ==<br />
* [[Math Accounts]]<br />
* [[Math Computer Policies]]<br />
* [[Quotas]]<br />
* [[University Computer Policies]]<br />
<br />
== E-Mail ==<br />
<br />
=== Account Set Up ===<br />
Set up your e-mail client with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
* Account Type: IMAP<br />
* Incoming and Outgoing Mail Server: mailhost.math.wisc.edu<br />
* IMAP Prefix: (leave blank)<br />
* Incoming Server Port: 993<br />
* Outgoing Server Port: 465<br />
* Check Use SSL<br />
=== Vacation Mail ===<br />
I. VACATION MAIL<br />
<br />
Here is how to set up vacation notification for your math e-mail account<br />
First, login to login.math.wisc.edu, then type<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURNAME<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Then add<br />
the following line to the end of your .procmailrc file:<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
where YOURNAME is your username. Edit/create the file<br />
<br />
/auto/mail/YOURNAME/.vacation.msg<br />
<br />
and put in there the message you want sent out while you are on vacation.<br />
<br />
When you return from your vacation, just delete or comment out these lines<br />
in your .procmailrc file by placing a # at the beginning of each line.<br />
<br />
:0 c<br />
| /usr/bin/vacation YOURNAME<br />
<br />
This will allow our spam filters to process your incoming mail before<br />
it gets to your mailbox and send your vacation message to only legitimate<br />
addresses.<br />
<br />
=== Forwarding your e-mail ===<br />
# We do not recommend forwarding all your math e-mail to a non-UW account<br />
because of the following issues:<br />
<br />
1. possible violation of HIPAA rules on confidentiality of student records<br />
For example, if you forward your e-mail to your yahoo or gmail account,<br />
what guarantees do you have that this mail will not be indexed or otherwise<br />
disseminated to third parties?<br />
2. record retention issues related to student grades, etc.<br />
<br />
However, if you are leaving the department, you may want this information.<br />
To forward filtered mail to a new address, you must first ssh to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' and<br />
put lines like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.procmailrc file<br />
<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
(of course you should replace the last line with your forwarding address).<br />
<br />
to forward mail to another account while keeping a copy on our server,<br />
put a line like this in your /auto/mail/yourusername/.forward file<br />
<br />
\myusername, myaddress@somewhere.com<br />
<br />
=== Leaving the Department ===<br />
If you leave the Math Department, your account will be deleted on September 1<br />
after your departure. You will be notified about this on August 1. Here are<br />
some things you may want to do to prepare for this<br />
<br />
* Start forwarding your e-mail to another account. To avoid getting spam, login to ''login.math.wisc.edu'' then follow these steps<br />
cd /auto/mail/YOURUSERNAME<br />
edit .procmailrc with your favorite text editor (e.g. vim, emacs or pico). Insert these lines at the end of .procmailrc:<br />
:0:<br />
!myaddress@somewhere.com (your forwarding address)<br />
* Notify the computer staff if you would like forwarding to continue (up to a year after your departure) after your account is deleted. Give them your forwarding address.<br />
<br />
=== E-mail Web Forms ===<br />
You can create a web page on your web site to allow visitors to send you e-mail messages. With an e-mail form, you can allow users to register for conferences, send feedback, or answer an on-line poll. With additional tools supplied by the Math Department, you can import these messages into a spreadsheet or database.<br />

The facilities and equipment described below are for use by UW Math department faculty and graduate students on the UW Madison Campus and, preferably, in Van Vleck hall.<br />
<br />
* '''Mobile Computers and Projectors''' <br><br />
Instructors may borrow laptop computers and projectors for demonstrations in any Van Vleck classroom. This equipment is kept in the Math Library on the B2 classroom level. You may check them out for up to 4 hours using your UW ID card. <br />
<br />
* '''Ceiling Mounted Projectors''' <br><br />
<br />
Classrooms B102, B107, B231 and B223 and the 901 seminar room each have a ceiling mounted projector. These projectors provide better displays than the mobile units. They can be used with a laptop computer. If you want to reserve one of these rooms, contact Sharon Paulson at paulson@math.wisc.edu. Keep in mind, though, that they're heavily booked and usually only available at the beginning or end of the day.<br />
The Math Department's computer staff maintain the projectors in 901 and B107. All the others are maintained by the UW Physical Plant. Please contact Derek Dombrowski about them. You will need an access code to use them and a key if you want to use the document camera or microphone with them.<br />
Here is Derek's contact information:<br />

* '''Computer Classroom''' <br><br />
<br />
B107 is an instructional computer lab featuring 21 speedy (2.8 GHz, 2 gb RAM) Windows PCs --each PC has network access and Maple, Matlab, and MSOffice programs-- a ceiling-mounted projector connected to the instructor's computer, and an HP B&W Laserjet printer with duplexer. To reserve this room, please contact Joan Wendt at paulson@math.wisc.edu.<br />
<br />
You can check out the key for the room from the Math Library.<br />
* '''Digital Camcorder''' <br><br />
<br />
There is a Canon Vixia HG20 Cam Corder in the Math Library which Math faculty and Graduate students can check out to film Math Events such as conferences, PhD defenses, etc. Use your faculty/staff ID card to check it out.<br />

During the summer of 2011, the department will be replacing the HPLJ 4300s on each floor<br />
with newer Ricoh MPC 4501 printer/copier/scanners. We will also use CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) instead of LPRNG on our unix print servers. What this means in practical terms is that users should become familiar with the System V lp commands. Previously, we used the Berkeley lpr command and some of these commands will still work. <br />
<br />
Here are the '''page charges''' for printing and copying:<br />
<br />
Printing: 250 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance<br />
color pages will cost 20 cents per page with no free allowance.<br />
Copying: 200 free B&W pages per month, 4 cents per B&W page beyond the free allowance and 20 cents per color page with no free allowance.<br />
Scanning: There is no charge for scanning a document and e-mailing it to yourself. However,<br />
users should not scan copyrighted material.<br />
<br />
See the [http://www.cups.org/ cups guide] for more detailed information on printing with cups.<br />

<div>'''Ricoh Copier FAQ'''<br />
<br />
You should have received a code for use with the copiers. If you did not, please contact<br />
the computer staff to get one. Do not let others know your code. You will be charged for<br />
any copies made using your code. Here are the charges for making copies<br />
<br />
* 200 free B&W copies per month, after that you will be charged 4 cents per copy.<br />
* color copies cost 20 cents a page with no free allowance.<br />
<br />
Select the ''copy'' function by pressing the button at the upper left hand corner of the display panel. It is selected by default. Enter your code to make copies.<br />
The ''simplified display'' button in the lower right hand corner of the display panel toggles<br />
between simplified and advanced displays. You can see the simplified and advanced displays for the copy function below:<br />
<br />
simple display: [[Image:copy-display-simple.gif]]<br />
<br />
advanced display: [[Image:copy-display.gif]]<br />
<br />
The default copy mode is Black & White. Select Auto-color if you want to print in color but don't want to be charged for non-color pages in your document. If you select full color, every page in your document will be counted as a color page.<br />
<br />
''Making a Magazine on 11in x 17in paper"<br />
<br />
Here are instructions for creating a 8.5in x 11in magazine by printing four 8.5in x 11in pages (2 on each side) on 11in x 17 in paper:<br />
<br />
* print out your document (in either simplex or duplex mode) on 8.5in x 11in paper<br />
* next, place the pages in the document feeder in the correct order, with the printed side up <br />
* enter your copy code and make the selections shown below<br />
<br />
Magazine Display: [[Image:ricoh-mag.jpg]]<br />
<br />
* finally, push the start button. The copier will reorder the pages correctly and print them out (this may be slow). You can print up to 40 pages (10 sheets) for a magazine which must then be stapled in the middle and folded over. The Law Library copy center has facilities for doing the stapling and trimming.</div>Ynagelhttps://wiki.math.wisc.edu/index.php?title=File:Ricoh-mag.jpg&diff=2193File:Ricoh-mag.jpg2011-07-11T14:47:31Z<p>Ynagel: uploaded a new version of "Image:Ricoh-mag.jpg"</p>
