-===== Printing Instructions =====
-  * If these instructions don't work, contact helpme. Then tell me why they don't work.
+===== Poster Printing Instructions =====
-  * use nuclear-plot, go to print > properties > paper/quality > paper size > ANSI E
-  * Then click print.
-  * Apparently sometimes windows will say that the job failed to print, but this isn't necessarily true and it's important to check the printer before you believe the error message.
-  * Nuclear plot is in the mini-theory library across from Zelevinsky's office.
+These instructions apply only to the lab's Windows desktop machines. Contact helpme if something goes wrong. There are two poster printers, one on the second floor (room 2040 - mini-Theory Library) and one on the fourth, by the elevator.
+  - Open the prepared PowerPoint file. Check that the file is set for 40 x 32 inches, this can be found under "Design" > "Slide Size" > "Custom Slide Size".
+  - It is recommended to run a scaled test-print on a standard printer before printing on the plotting printer.
+  - Check that there is enough of the correct paper on the plotter and that ink levels are okay. Email helpme to have paper type changed or more paper/ink installed.
+  - Choose the printer "Nuclear-Plot on WINPRINT" for the second floor printer or "4100-Plot on WINPRINT" for the fourth floor printer.
+  - Go to Print > Properties.
+  - Printer quality is automatically set to "Speed", change it to "Quality" to avoid lines on the poster.
+  - Set paper size using "Paper Options" > "Document size" > "ANSI E". (If your poster is not 40 x 32 you may need to find what the correct paper size is for your poster) Hit "Ok" to close pop-up windows.
+  - Under "Settings", for "Full page slides" uncheck "Scale to fit paper".
+  - Print your poster!
+Windows may sometimes say that the job failed to print, but this isn't necessarily true and it's important to check the printer before you believe the error message.
