Printing

General Printing

All printers will purchased, maintained, and serviced by OIT. Printers will provided on the network in locations that will provide the most accessibility to many users. Printers that are shared will secure print jobs by using a hold/release system which allows users to retrieve prints when they are physically at the printer.

Auditing

All documents printed to the printers will be tracked by logging information about the print job. Some of which includes when the print was printed, by which person, how many pages, to which printer, and from which computer the print was sent. An image of the printed document may also be stored in a central location for up to 30 days.

Personal Printers

Home grade, personal, ink jet printers are not allowed on campus. Some reasons for this are:

  • There are very high cost when printing per page.
  • Generate more waste
  • They cannot be networked and shared on an enterprise network.
  • Low Quality compared to Laser

Copiers

Copiers are provided by the Business Office. The Business Office will maintain a service contract on the copier for repairs. Repairs on copiers should be reported to the copier repair company as indicated by the label on the copier.
OIT will be responsible for setting up and troubleshooting printing directly to the copier. OIT will also maintain tracking on the copier as defined in the Auditing section.
