Printing

Brandeis partners with Ricoh to provide campus with all-in-one machines that handle printing, copying, scanning and faxing.

These multifunction machines enable members of the Brandeis community to:

  • Release a print job to any copier on campus by swiping a Brandeis ID card or by entering a username and password,
  • Print from a cellphone or mobile device,
  • Print in color,
  • Fax from some copiers,
  • Print confidentially and securely from shared copiers,
  • Utilize new technology and best practices in print management,
  • Reduce wasted paper.

Using Your Ricoh Machine — Faculty and Staff

Please follow the below steps to enable printing and copying on your new Ricoh device:

  1. Select the appropriate print queue.
  2. Associate Brandeis ID card with the new machine for papercut printing release. 

Select the Appropriate Print Queue

The print queues for new machines differ from those used on existing devices. Users must select the appropriate print queue to print from the new device. Please note that you must re-select your original print queue if printing on an older machine. Once installations have been completed across campus, the older print queues will be deleted to reduce confusion. 

Windows Print Queues

Print queues for Windows PC devices were automatically added and should be available from your print destination menu. If your new Windows print queues are not available on the menu, please contact the Help Desk at help@brandeis.edu. 

Please select one of the following new print queues to print from your PC.

Student Printers

Brandeis ITS recently installed upgraded student printing devices on campus. The new printers are in the same locations as before and will require users to add (new students) or update (returning students) print queues on their Apple, Windows, and personal devices.

The Brandeis Knowledge Base website provides instructions for adding or updating student print queues and guidance on setting up your device. 

Additional Information

Printers are available for student use throughout campus. Please refer to the Brandeis Library website for additional details.
