Multi-Function Devices (MFDs)
On campus, we use Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) to do our printing, scanning, and copying. These devices are connected to the internet so that you can print from home or from any computer on campus and then sign in at the device where you want to "release" the print job. Learn how to use the MFDs using the materials below. If you run into an issue, call Dataflow--that's the name of the company that provides support on these machines, and the phone number is listed on the front of every MFD. They are under contract to respond within 4 hours!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I order Toner or waste toner cartridges?
Toner is monitored and replaced by Dataflow. If you are unable to print because there is no toner or the waste toner cartridge is full, call Dataflow (the phone number is listed along with the device ID number on the front of the machine). They will correct the issue within 4 hours. Remember, there are other MFDs on campus where you can release your print job if you are unable to use one that is out of supplies!
How do I order paper?
Paper is ordered by your division, or by the computer lab technician if you're using a computer lab. Contact your division's administrative support personnel for more information. It typically takes 3-4 business days for the paper to arrive, so please order paper as early as possible!
