Why are we making this change?
More equitable access to color printing, copuing, scanning, and other features
High-performance equipment to better support organizational printing needs
Reduce the number of individual devices that need to be maintained
Better manage costs by consolidating printing resources
What will printing look like?
Desktop printers will remain for small jobs-generally one or two pages-and emergency printing
Routine Printing will move to high-performance copiers located in centralized areas. Print jobs can be send and securely released at a copier by swiping your badge
Large-volume or complex printing should be sent to our in-house print shop, where the job can be handled more efficiently
A planned transition....
Short Term: Existing desktop printers will remain in place for the near future. PaperCut print managment software will redirect print jobs as needed based on size and complexity.
Long Term: Desktop printers will be phased out as they reach the end of their useful life, but will be retained in certain strategic locations as identified by department leadership.
.....with intentional support
Implementation plans and resources will be communicated and provided as they become available, including:
Quick how-to guides and short videos
PaperCut printing instructions
Copier location information
