# 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:
