Printing to MFDs

MFDs (Multi-Function Devices) are combined photocopying and printing machines.

They are located in the following areas and rooms:-Resource Centre

Room 28 Computer SuiteRoom opposite 37B, Business Studies

Phase 2 HallConference Room

SuccessMaker Room

In Computer suites that still have printers, you will be able to print as you did before by selecting the printer in that room.

These prints are still free.

The printers will be removed when the toners run out.

With the new MFDs, when you send a document to print, it can be retrieved from any of the machines.

Each Pupil’s account has been credited with £1.00 – equivalent to 100 black & white prints.

When you print or copy, the cost will be automatically deducted from your current total.

At some point in the future, you will need to fund your account to continue printing and copying.

This applies to homework and coursework.

It’s up to you how much or how little you print.

You will need your own Personal Print & Photocopying Number and you will need to be logged on to a computer as yourself.

You can no longer print anything from a computer someone else is logged on to.

If you forget your Personal Print & Photocopying Number you can ask in the Resource Centre for a reminder.
