Printing Policy (MFDs)

In order for the University to meet its carbon reduction targets, as outlined in the Carbon Management Plan, we are streamlining processes with efficiency and carbon in mind. 

To this end we are phasing out individual desktop printers and scanners and are replacing them with high energy-efficient, business-effective shared MFDs (Multifunctional Devices) which can scan, fax, print, and photocopy from a single device.

University policy is to move towards MFDs. You will need a business case, authorised by the Chief Operating Officer, to justify having a desktop printer or scanner. Requests for desktop printers and scanners will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
