Printing and Copying at UBCO – Faculty and Staff

Overview

UBCO has implemented a central pay-for-print service to meet the printing and copy needs of faculty and staff.  This has been established to support UBC’s sustainability objectives.   

Printers provided through the pay-for-print program are accessible for use by all faculty and staff.  


Features & Benefits

  • Print only what you need with Secure Print 
  • Tap-to-release service using SALTO access which allows users to walk up to any UBC Fleet Printer and release their job via tap-to-release (also known as the FindMe function). 
  • Automated workflow for supplies management (i.e., toner).
  • Fleet maintenance and end-user operational issues provided by an external contractor. 
  • The pay-for-print service provides paper and related supplies. 

Requirements & Eligibility

  • All staff and faculty are eligible for pay-for-print.  Access to pay-for-print is requested during onboarding on the Okanagan – Employee IT Onboarding ticket (WorkTag is required). 
  • Contractors are eligible for pay-for-print with a sponsored CWL and have had an Okanagan – Employee IT Onboarding ticket submitted requesting access to pay-for-print (WorkTag is required).
