Multifunction device overview
SELECTprint scheme for Print-Photocopy-Scan devices
The University has launched a new SELECTprint scheme to make it easier to select, buy or lease, support and maintain a fleet of printer-photocopier-scanner devices (also known as multi-function devices or MFDs).
The scheme offers a range of nine devices (two single-function printers and seven multi-function devices) that should meet the majority of requirements from small office use to large open access computing areas, from A4 mono to A3 colour.
