If there is no paper, please call the Service Desk (ext 7777) and we will arrange for a delivery.
If you have an urgent need to print please check the list of other Staff Print Station locations which are available on this page.
Toner levels are monitored closely and we aim to replace them proactively when they reach below 5%.
If you notice a toner has run out (not just run low) please contact the Service Desk and we will arrange for this to be replaced.
Please call the Service Desk who will be able to assist you
A monthly report will be provided to all HoD’s to enable them to manage printing in their department
If you need to print large amounts of material to work effectively please make this known to your line manager so they can consider reasonable adjustments.
Please see Printing using a Linux device article.
We base the number of printers in each building on the size, number of floors, and printing volumes , this will be reviewed regularly.
In the event of an exception that is not addressed by this policy, the matter will be referred to the Information Services, Chief Information Officer for consideration and a decision.
- Example: Approved, additional printers are required in the Eye Clinic and Dental Academy to print patient test results or appointment details etc.
- Example: Approved, Student Services require an additional printer for parchment printing on to specialist paper.
- Example: Declined, a request for a local printer in a manager’s office for printing sensitive documents (all staff print stations will have secure University card release).
- Desktop printers and printing provision at home will be considered as a reasonable adjustment following a recommendation by Occupational Health.
