NEW April 2014 - Mobile Print now supports printing directly from your iOS device (iPhone or iPad)

Mobile Print is a way to send documents to print whilst on the go and have it ready to collect when you next visit a Kyocera printer.

The MPS team are pleased to announce that the Managed Print Service has been shortlisted for the CCSG Collaborative Working Award 2014.

The Awards Evening will take place on Friday 9^th May 2014, we will publish the results here at the earliest possible convenience.

The Printing Services team in ITS are busy working to improve the service that we deliver.

Areas of development at present are focused around the following:

Testing of NSI Autostore Express - Document Workflow and scan to folder solution

This is now live within our test environment and is being placed under load within ITS. Servers have been ordered for the production solution and all required licenses are in place. We expect to provide this facility to 40 Student MFDs during the summer vacation. USB keyboards are currently being installed to support meta data entry as a key component of this service.

We anticipate "Scan to H: drive" capability to be the first element of this new service to be rolled out.

For further details of the capabilities of this product.

Testing of the Collobos Presto "Airprint" technology printing solution for Apple iOS devices

This is also now live within our test environment and has been placed under load. Servers have been ordered and all required licenses are in place. We expect to deliver this solution to our student workarea customers at the beginning of the 3rd term.

We anticipate this facility will be focused around our Kyocera and HP based MFDs initially and will provide native printing support for Airprint compatible Apple iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads.

Student Printing - Charging model refresh

The current charging scheme is under review and will be refreshed at the start of the 3rd term to better reflect the true cost of operation now that we are providing our Student Print Service through the Managed Print Service.

Further details of the revised pricing will be widely published in due course.

Installation of upgraded colour Multifunction Devices (MFDs) within Student Workareas

Two HP 4730 MFDs are scheduled to be installed in the H447 and SS2.74 workareas within the Humanities and and Social Studies buildings respectively by close of business: 07/03/2014.

These devices will provide duplex-capable colour copying, print and scanning functionality. Both devices also offer stapling as a finishing option.

The Managed Print Service is plased to announce the availablility of it's new MPS - Loan Scheme.

This will allow customers to loan a maximum of two devices from our wide range for a period of up to 3 months.

All components, consumables* and servicing are included within the cost per page charging scheme.

*Please note that paper is not supplied as a part of this service.

Please contact managedprint@warwick.ac.uk with details of your request and a member of our team will be in touch.

We will need to provide a valid SAP costcode in order for us to provide this service to you.

So.... what happened to the results of this review?

In order to make our service more accessible and to help our customers to take advantage of our most popular facilities a range of video leaflets have been developed.

They should work on a range of different platforms such as Windows, Mac, IOS and Android and will guide you through such functions as Print, Copy, Scan to E-mail, mobileprint and provide support with using our Library Visitor Photocopying Cards.

They are now available from our new video leaflets page.

IT Services and warwickprint have commited to dedicate a half acre plot of woodland for every 50 trees we save utilising our SafeCom pull print technology.

This activity has been facilitated through the Woodland Trust
