Printing - Division Office and Departmental

  • Division Office and Departmental Printing is provided via Bizhub copiers.
  • With the exception of executive offices that require the need for confidential printing, desktop printers will not be acquired unless there is no networked printer available in the requesting department. 
    • In order for devices to be supported by IT, it must have been acquired with IT approval and with Cabrillo-funds. 
    • Once printers have reached their supportable lifespan, IT will no longer be able to support them.
  • MBS is the approved vendor for printer/copier acquisition. Devices, support, and supplies are provided by MBS. 
    • Any remaining copiers on Smile contracts will have the future replacements, if needed, acquired through MBS.  
    • MBS will typically reach out to the owning department when their multi-function printers (MFPs) are at or near end-of-life.
    • It is the owning department's responsibility to fund replacement systems.
  • Cabrillo’s standard is the annual payment program (lease) for copiers/printers. If a grant is being utilized as the funding source, it may be necessary to purchase outright.
  • Outside of having a service agreement with the vendor, departments are responsible for the day to day maintenance of their printers (replacing toner, paper jams, cleaning print heads, etc.).
