Campus printers (MFDs)
The University uses large multi-function-devices (MFDs) for printing, photocopying and scanning. These are found in most areas of the University. From August 2026, all devices will be available for use by both staff and students (depending on access).

As part of the Professional Services Transformation Programme, all MFD management has been centralised under Print Services. A reduced, modernised fleet, more aligned to current demands is being rolled out throughout June and July. You can find out what is happening to all devices on the Print Services Sharepoint.
From August 2026, all leases, click charges and paper will be paid centrally, and these costs recovered through a higher click-rate which will be adjusted periodically to ensure that costs are covered but no more.
Devices Canon can continue to support for a further 5 years have been re-contracted, the remainder of the fleet will be replaced. This approach supports the University’s circular economy and waste hierarchy commitments. Decommissioned devices will be processed in line with Canon’s certified environmental processes, these achieve recycling rates exceeding 99.9% through accredited facilities.
