Printing to Campus Printers

ITS supports networked printers and multi-function devices in all departments on campus. You can print to these printers from your ¹ÏÉñÍø-managed workstation or from a personal computer connected to ¹ÏÉñÍø's VPN.


MonarchPrint

The easiest way to print on campus is with MonarchPrint. Send a document to the MonarchPrint cloud and swipe into any Konica Minolta printer with your ¹ÏÉñÍø ID card or Mobile ID to release your print job. (Previous EVMS employees are eligible for an ¹ÏÉñÍø ID.ÌýMore information here.)

(Because costs are automatically charged to your department when you swipe your University ID card at a machine, we need your budget unit director (BUD) to approve card access to MFPs. .)
