The SafeCom Pull Print solution for staff and students has reached an important milestone.

We are pleased to announce that the SafeCom Pull Print solution has been deployed on a total of 300 Multifunction Devices (MFDs) and single function printers across the University Campus with a presence in 95% of the University Staff departments.

This service has been delivered as a cornerstone of the Managed Print Service through strategic partners IT Services and warwickprint.

Over the next week (15th December 2014) our Printing Services Video Leaflets will be presented via newly developed interactive touchscreen kiosks.

These 10" displays feature touchscreens that give you the ability to select and view video versions of our 11 most popular support queries/tutorials. This complements our already popular Helpdesk Leaflets.

Initially these kiosks will be deployed in some of our most popular and highest volume locations:

• Library - 1st Floor
• University House - Learning Grid 1st and 2 Floor
• Rootes Building - Rootes Grid
• Senate House - PG Hub

Scan to folder is a service which allows you to place a document on one of our printer/photocopiers, have the photocopier scan it and create a PDF file from it, and then have that PDF sent to your H drive.

By default this service will transfer your chosen scanned file in PDF format directly to the your home or "H"drive in a newly created folder called "My Scans" within your Documents folder. The file will be autonamed in the following manner "usercode-date-time".

For further information about this exciting new service coming in September 2014 to student workareas and a limited number of staff departments.

IT Services will be updating the printer driver in use on the Kyocera "pull" print queues, this update contains a number of small changes and bugs fixes and a new, easier to navigate user interface.

The change will take place out of hours on Monday 28th July 2014
