In tandem with SUNY’s Print Initiative, SUNY Fredonia will be moving forward with its own initiative on campus where employees will be active participants in the effort to “print smart and print less.” The project, to continue to be led by the Information Technology Services department, began in 2021 and consisted of two phases aimed at achieving print efficiency, optimization and meeting sustainability goals by Summer 2025. Phase I 1 of the project began in the spring of 2021 when IT started to collect printing data to better understand our current fleet of printer hardware and usage. In partnership with our vendor Toshiba, we analyzed the current print environment and determined the age of equipment, types of printers (local versus network), printer utilization and printer locations. We are now embarking on Phase II of the project beginning this fall, where we will be working with employees and departments to ensure effective print options while reducing the number of campus printers. Effective solutions will be implemented to move tasks to digital workflows, reducing the need for printing. Per SUNY, USB printers and single-function color printers will be removed, with printers older than seven years removed or replaced. While the print fleet is being reduced, we are working with departments to migrate them over to a new print management solution and training all users. We anticipate the project to be completed by the end of spring 2025. |
