Background
In the summer of 2017 the University began transitioning to a new managed print arrangement that fielded new cutting edge Xerox multi-function printers. All new print devices provide a full suite of capability including color and black and white printing, copying, and scan to email. By the end of the 2018 school year, all printers across the University will be part of this program.
