Employee Photocopy Best Practices

Price Schedule and Copy/Print Best Practices Guide

Messiah Press and the campus HelpDesk manage the campus printing program. The program features color-capable copiers equipped with print, scan, and copy technology. In addition, the program helps to bring our overall copy and print strategy into alignment with Messiah's commitment to the priority of sustainability.

Features of this program include:

  • Grouping employees into “work clusters” prompting them to share print devices rather than maintaining printers in individual offices. (Due to the nature of work in some areas, certain offices will retain individual or departmental print capability)

  • Secure printing to the cloud, allowing employees to print almost anywhere on campus. Each strategically placed copier acts as a release station, initiated by a card tap or password login to ensure confidentiality and reduced waste

  • Pay as you use” billing processes for both printers and copiers. Departments do not need to purchase toner cartridges or printer paper. The costs of these items are built into the “pay as you use” price schedule. The price schedule, as seen below, has been designed to help users make the best decisions about where and when to print

To print in color to a Toshiba copier, be sure to choose the Toshiba anywhere, then choose color mode. To print in Black and White to a Toshiba copier, be sure to choose the Toshiba anywhere, then choose black & white mode.

  • In order to make Copies at the “Print Anywhere” copiers or to release your prints, you will need your existing Employee ID Card or your Messiah network password login.
  • In order to use the copier, press the start button to type in your Messiah network username and password or, more simply, just use your ID card using the proximity technology built into the copier.
  • Once the Copier recognizes you as a user, you can use the copier as you would any copier or, you can release any job(s) you sent to the cloud.
