Administrative Printing and Copy Services provides networked printers and multi-function devices (MFDs) that support printing, copying, scanning, and—in some cases—faxing. These devices are conveniently located within departmental and office areas for use by Florida SouthWestern State College (FSW) faculty and staff.
College Initiative and Goals
As part of the college’s initiative to streamline and modernize administrative printing, all existing copy machines have been replaced with more efficient Ricoh multi-function devices. These MFDs now serve as the primary printer, scanner, and copier—and in some cases, fax machine.
This change supports FSW’s goal of resource efficiency. By reducing the number of standalone printers:
- Energy consumption is lowered
- Toner and maintenance costs are reduced
- Staff support demands are minimized
- Productivity increases due to faster print speeds
Note: MFDs have a significantly higher print-per-minute (PPM) rate compared to traditional standalone printers.
