Managed Print

Managed Print (MP) is a service that delivers self-service printing. MP allows students, staff, faculty, and other affiliates to print from any device and release their print to any support location using standardized equipment. Why use a managed print system instead of a simple printing system/policy? Costs related to printing have escalated over the years as more electronic resources are becoming available through the university's campus library's electronic resources, book publisher's websites, and other sources. To keep balance in the system by promoting responsible printing and to conserve resources by controlling abuse, waste, and rising costs, the university has implemented the user-friendly Managed Print Service as a cost recovery system.

Cost

Individuals using the MP are responsible for paying for the pages they print. Some campuses provide students enrolled for the current semester with a non-accumulating printing allocation/credit that they can use to pay for their print jobs. Staff, faculty, students, and affiliates can also use their campus bucks (e.g. WolfBucks, Bear Bucks, etc.) to pay for printing. Printing costs vary by type of printing (e.g. black & white, color), size (e.g. 8.5"x11", 11"x17", etc.), features (e.g. simplex, duplex, stapled, etc.), and the total number of pages. The MP stations will display the cost associated with each print job, and individuals must have sufficient balance available on printing allocation and/or campus bucks in order to cover the entirety of the cost. Please note that campus dining dollars are not usable for printing costs.
