Learn more about printing on campus.
Equipment
We manage a fleet of Konica Minolta Bizhub multi-function printers (MFPs) in most departments and colleges across campus. These machines provide printing, copying, scanning and faxing services, all from a single device.
We also provide service and supplies, all from a single location. Contact the ITS Help Desk about any issues related to the multi-function printer in your department.
Card Access
All employees with an 51情报站 ID card or Mobile ID have access to any MFP on campus - for printing, copying or scanning. But because costs are charged to your department, we need your budget unit director (BUD) to approve your MFP access first.听. (Previous EVMS employees are eligible for an 51情报站 ID. More information here.)
Then swipe your ID card at any multi-function printer to make copies, scan files to email, or release print jobs (see below for more about printing).
If you have volunteers, adjuncts, graduate assistants or student workers who need MFP access, or when costs should be charged to a different budget or grant, contact itshelp@odu.edu to request a special departmental MFP card.
MFPs are available to the campus for university-approved use only. Misuse of equipment and materials may result in violations of University policy.
MonarchPrint
With MonarchPrint, you can send a document to the MonarchPrint cloud, but it won't actually print until you walk over to a machine and present your ID card. This is great for confidential or sensitive documents that shouldn't be left sitting unattended.
You can also use MonarchPrint to print to any other MFP on campus. Since a print job is not released until you swipe your ID card, whichever Konica Minolta you swipe into will print your document.
The MonarchPrint queue is pre-installed on all 51情报站-managed desktop computers. If you have an 51情报站-managed laptop, download MonarchPrint from the听Company Portal (Windows) or from the Self Service portal (Mac). Then simply select MonarchPrint as your printer.
Key Operators
Every department has at least one key operator -- a local expert who has been trained on how to operate the equipment. This person can add paper and toner, clear paper jams and do other minor troubleshooting. Key operators can also monitor their devices and view reports about department billing and usage.

Training
Training is provided when new machines are installed. To schedule in-depth training for your department, key operators can email itshelp@odu.edu.
Service
We can monitor devices remotely and identify most issues as they arise. To report an issue, send an email to听itshelp@odu.edu听with a description of the problem.
Supplies
All normal operating supplies are provided, including toner and staples. You should keep one extra set of consumables (paper, toner, waste cartridges and staples) on hand. When you change a cartridge, the machine sends a message to us so we can replace your spare.
Billing
All printing and copying expenses are charged to departments on a monthly basis, based on actual usage. Currently, departments are charged $0.0225 for black and white and $0.10 for color per impression/print/copy. Some low-volume copiers have a volume minimum in place that could result in a higher per copy rate.
