Printing
Printer-friendly versionInformatics provides printing, photocopying, scanning and fax services to staff and students in the School. The details depend on whether you are a taught student, and on your computer's operating system.
All printers in the student labs are Cloud enabled devices.
From April 2018, there will be cloud printers on all floors in the Forum and on the ground floor in the Wilkie Building. For more details on cloud printing, scanning and copying, see the Cloud Printing,Copying and Scanning documentation provided by IS. See, also the blog article which explains cloud printing within Informatics more fully. We have agreed to keep the existing queue names in place until the end of the second semester (2017/18). Black and white A4 printing and colour scanning is available on all cloud printers. You can find a summary of cloud printers within Informatics below:
| Printer area | Colour | A3 | Finisher |

You can check the amount of print credit given to Informatics taught students on the student printing page.
Other users have free printing with print credit being topped up automatically, and receive monthly emails detailing their usage for the month. Please consider the environmental impact of excessive printing!
The existing queue names will remain until the end of teaching 2017/2018. Thereafter, with the exception of a few admin print queues, only the cloud queues will remain. There is a list of printers for staff and postgrads.
