Printing

When logged in to a PC on the University network, students can select the default print queue (UWS Print) from the list of printers then log in to any Multi Function Device (MFD) to collect their documents.

EveryOnePrint (EOP) lets you print via the internet to the existing University printing systems from your laptop, Mac, desktop PC or mobile device without the need to install any drivers or software. Simply upload your documents to this service then log in to any Multi Function Device (MFD) to collect your documents.

More information about EveryOnePrint can be found in these User Guides:

• EveryOnePrint student guide - laptops
• EveryOnePrint student guide - mobile devices

Multi Function Devices (MFD) are installed on each of our campuses. These provide you with the ability to Print, Copy and Scan to Email.

You can print to any device so, if the nearest device is unavailable or busy, you can collect your printing from one on a different floor or room.

For your convenience, you can register your student card at any MFD and this will enable you to log in to the MFD by simply swiping your student card. Click below to view the instructions.

You can also log in at any time using the screen on the MFD. To log in, enter your Banner ID and network password. Once logged in, you can release any print jobs you have sent to the print queue or use the copy or scan functions.

If you experience any problems using the printers, please contact the IT Helpdesk.

If you have a query about the quantity or quality of the documents you’ve printed, take your pages to the IT Helpdesk on your campus and they will check the print queue records.

Please note that refunds for print credit are only given if there has been a problem with the printer.

• Cost for Black and White - 5p per sheet
• Cost for colour - 10p per sheet

You will only be charged when you collect your documents by logging in to the Multi Function Device (MFD) and clicking on Print. If you click on Cancel or don’t log in to collect your documents within 24 hours of sending it to the print queue, the document will not be printed and you will not be charged.
