Description

The College currently has a reasonable fleet (17) of Canon MFDs spread across the site, in key locations, in addition to a dedicated Reprographics department (1 print-room level machine, 2 secondary high-speed MFDs, and 1 fast MFD for direct staff use). These are on a contract that was extended, and is now due to end March 2026. Most, but not all of these MFDs are using PaperCut MF for secure print release. There are also approximately 50 desktop printers, of various ages, sizes and capabilities that are unmanaged and unsupported.
