Due to budget constrictions, effective June 1, 2019, the Distribution Services area of Copy Services (CS) is being eliminated.  This decision prompts the opportunity to relocate the two production copiers to two campus locations for departmental staff access along with a period of transition/change in three phases. In addition to the transition and relocation of the production copiers, there will be a reduction in the number of campus satellite copiers occurring over the next several weeks.

Please review the following information which includes Phased Copier Transitions/Changes, Training for Production Copiers, Copy Options, and Copy Guidelines of Changes.

Copy Options
In lieu of the traditional Copy Services Request, individuals can now use their authorized access copy code on any campus copier.

Option 1:  Utilize a Satellite Copier
While a reduction in the number of satellite copiers is occurring, satellite and production copiers are available in the following locations on campus:

Satellite Copier Locations (8):

1. Carson Center

Anyone with an authorized access copy code may utilize these machines.

Option 2:  Utilize a Relocated Production Copier
Relocated Production copiers and equipment will be available using access codes to meet a variety of copy needs beyond routine copy job requirements (large and small quantities, manuals, posters, binding, etc.). 

Additional equipment includes a shrink wrapper, cutter, document shaker, and spiral binder that will also be in OH 231 with the black/white production copier.

Option 3: Utilize a Local Vendor
Local vendors such as Office Depot Print/Copy Shop may be used for copy jobs that do not require Office of Content Design or Marketing approval. For example, large student project posters.
