Printing & Copies

Printing and Copies

DEEC provides its employees with a modern copy and print system, the operating details of which are explained in this document.

For configuration purposes on computers, there are 3 virtual printers, whose names and function are:
  • CacifosColor – Color printing will be output to the following physical printer: Konica Minolta C368
  • CacifosGrayscale – Black & white printing will come from one of the following physical printers: Konica Minolta C368 or Konica Minolta 284e. If you print in color, the printout will be automatically converted to black & white.
  • Gab-3a4 – Black & white or color printing, as defined by the user, will be output to the following physical printer: Konica Minolta C280

The advantages inherent in this implementation are:

  • The specific hardware is abstracted from the user, meaning that in the event of a malfunction, you do not need to reinstall specific drivers;
  • Transparent balancing is possible for the user, with obvious advantages at times of peak use;
  • Duplex is enabled by default on all printers;
  • Improvement of environmental impact;
  • Overall reduction of printing costs;

Configuration manuals are available at:



The Physical equipment specifications are presented in the following table:
