MFDs and printers
All printing on campus is via networked multi function devices (MFDs) and printers.
When printing on campus, you send your output to a holding queue. You can then print from this queue at any MFD or printer. To print your output, use your ID card or login to the printer with your username and password.
- MFDs are capable of copying and scanning to email, as well as printing selected items from your print queue. Default settings are double-sided, black and white A4 printing. Some MFDs also offer A3 and colour printing.
- Printers print ALL of the items from your print queue. Default settings are double-sided, black and white A4 printing. Some printers also offer colour print options.

Reporting faults
If you encounter any kind of fault with an MFD or printer – be it with card readers, low toner, or mechanical failure – you should report it directly to the Service Desk. You will be asked a set of questions to help us ensure that your call is dealt with appropriately.
