Funding and charging model for the Managed Print Service (MPS) - 1st August 2020 onwards

As of the 1st August 2020 onwards the Managed Print Service ceased the processing of internal recharges in respect of the rentals and usage of the multi-function photocopiers / printers managed by Warwick Print and ITS/IDG (the MPS).

These are the devices located within departments across the campus. This decision reflects the Simplify Collaborate Deliver measures to minimise the volume of internal recharges in order to improve financial reporting timescales and reduce administrative burden.

The Student Print service remains chargeable at point of use. A positive printer credits balance is needed to print or copy within the Student Print locations.

The other services provided by Warwick Print continue to be chargeable.

If you have any questions or concerns in relation to this funding and charging model, please contact the Helpdesk as needed.
