All employees benefit when WVU can be more efficient with increasingly limited financial resources. Standardization, simplification of operations, and leveraged buying power will help make the University more efficient overall. This program consolidates a basic service under a single contract, allowing the University to negotiate the best price possible.
How should I handle the need to print documents that are confidential or sensitive in nature?
Many existing networked printers and all new ones that will be installed as part of this program have a secure-release capability similar to that of the student-facing MyPrinting program. You can send your job to the printer, where it will remain queued up until you swipe your Mountaineer Card and select the job you want to print.
WVU is currently reviewing responses to an RFP (Request for Proposal) to replace our existing fleet of printer-copier devices. Once this contract is executed, we will begin the process of ensuring all machines have this secure-release function. If this functionality is needed immediately and is not currently in place for your department’s printer, please submit a ticket (WVU Login required) to have the machine replaced or reconfigured. Some locations may need to wait until the fall semester, depending on the inventory available.
Also, consider whether printing a document is necessary for a business reason rather than just convenient. If the information can be conveyed electronically, please use the secure transfer service at liquidfiles.wvu.edu.
