If the machine fault is basic eg paper jam/toner needs replacing, you should seek assistance from any of the trained super users. For devices in student areas or any other faults please contact the IT Support.

Please give the following information:

• Machine asset name (blue/white sticker on the device)
• Location of the machine
• Your name
• Contact phone number

IT Services will then look into the issue and call out a technician if required.

The display of the device will display instructions on how to clear the jam. Please be careful when opening the parts of the machine as directed. Blue or Green areas inside are ok to touch/handle. Try not to touch rollers as fingerprints may transfer onto prints and copies. When closing the machine ensure any internal switches, catches etc. are reseated. Doors/hatches will not need forcing closed. If in doubt please contact the local super user or the IT Support Office.

If there is a jam (or toner/paper runs out) the device will cancel any jobs currently released to it when the current user logs out (or is logged out automatically).

Toner levels are monitored remotely by our supplier and are delivered direct to the department when levels drop below the set threshold. If you haven’t received a toner delivery please email itsupport@york.ac.uk.

Staples will need to be requested via the IT Support Office.

Paper for staff devices is ordered via york.ac.uk/paper. 

If you are a student and your work has not printed out properly, for example if the pages are creased or smudged, take the spoilt job to the IT Support where you can get the cost credited back onto your York Print Plus account.

If you are staff and your job is spoiled please email the IT Support office.

When you print using York Print Plus, you can collect your material as and when you need to. You can release your printing from any MFD on campus. To do this requires you to log on at the device by tapping your University Card or keying in your username and password. This ensures only the person who has sent the document to print is authorised to collect the output.

HP toners

As part of the HP Planet partnership, we supply a box for recycling used HP consumables eg toner cartridges, fuser units and drum kits when York Print Plus is installed.

Please do not put staple cartridges into the recycling, return them to IT Support via the internal mail.

To have your cartridges collected or to request replacement boxes, you or your department's York Print Plus SuperUser(s) should arrange collections via the HP website:

• Arrange a collection (hp.com)

Old: Non-HP toners

Staff and students can log a job with the facilities helpdesk and the Rapid Response Team will collect non-HP cartridges for off-site recycling.
