Departmental printers (MFDs)

The University uses large multi-function-devices (MFDs) for printing, photocopying and scanning. These are found in most areas of the University, for use by both staff and students.

Departmental printing and printers

New or replacement printers

We are currently assessing our MFD fleet. During this period, it will not be possible to procure new devices. 

If a device is irreparable, contact Sustainable Print. 

Move or dispose of printers

Canon MFDs should not be unplugged as they need to report back to Canon on a regular basis.

There may be a charge for moving, transferring or disposing of MFDs. 

To move or transfer a MFD, contact Sustainable Print. You must get approval from Sustainable Print to move or transfer an MFD, either in the room it's in or to a different room or building. Canon are responsible for moving MFDs between buildings.

To dispose of a MFD:

  1. check the Printer disposal (PDF, 101kB) flowchart to understand the steps involved
  2. contact Sustainable Print. 

Personal desktop printers

In exceptional cases, it may be appropriate to procure a desktop or LBP printer, rather than a MFD. LPBs are not on the network, and their use is not supported by IT Services.

To help minimise the number of LBPs, we have a number of Canon printers which are available to loan. To borrow one of our Canon printers, contact Sustainable Print. 

All orders for LPBs must be authorised by a School Manager. Check the LBP (PDF, 73kB) procurement process flowchart.

Printers which students can use

Many study spaces across the University have printers or photocopiers which students can use to print, copy or scan.
