Printing and Copying Policy at Bren

To see the primary print document click here

Bren offers centralized printing, copying and scanning services to its community.   We have goals of minimizing printing waste(print jobs that don't get picked up), and printing too much by using print quotas, print release stations, ability to track your own print usage, and print monitoring.

Copier - Ricoh 3554 - Monarch copier/scanner/printer

Oreo - Ricoh 3554 in the student mail room: Copy codes will be issued to Bren Departments and individual faculty and lecturers.   PhD's can request a copy code. Postdocs, Researchers, Visitors must get a copy code by having their sponsor request a new copy code that would get charged to a specific recharge account.  No copy codes will be issued to MESM students (you can scan and print, or use the copiers at the UCEN or Library).  If you've forgotten your copy code, you can ask Dee, Briny or the compute team.   Copying on Oreo (where we can track usage) is meant for times when you have to copy a lot. 

Monarch - Xerox 6515 in Bren Hall 3330 (3L/group project room) If you only have to copy a few pages, please use the copy/scanner/printer.  There are no codes required on this copier.

Printing - 

Some groups have their own printer and provide their own supplies, in that case printing to these printers will not have a cost or quota associated with that printer.  The only printers that quotas apply to are common space printers: 2 mail rooms, Deans Suite, 3516 and the 3rd floor computer labs.  Currently there are 7 common space printers.

Annual Print Quotas - 

The purpose of our quotas is to help educate our community on their print usage. Some groups can have their quota increased (faculty, PhD, staff).  Following are the initial allocation offered as annual quotas for our users.

• Faculty - $200
• Staff - $100
• PhD - $100
• MESM - $30 + group project allocation **
• Postdocs, Researchers, visitors - $10  (200 black and white pages roughly).  

** MESM Students can continue to print after the original allocation, but they will be billed on their BARC statement.  Please see this document for increasing your MESM allocation.

An email we would send to faculty if a postdoc, researcher, visitor needed copy functionality might be:

Good morning,  Joe Visitor Gaucho has requested to use the copier service at Bren and said you are his Bren Sponsor.  If you approve of this request, we'd be happy to create a copy code for them.  We just need your approval and a budget number to charge.
