*Printers and Scanners: University policy discourages the purchase of personal Printers and Scanners in favor of the Multi-Function Devices (MFD) located across the campus. At PSU we strive to be as environmentally friendly and cost efficient as possible. The life cycle, waste and expensive cost per print on these personal devices, particularly printers, goes against the University’s commitment to environmental sustainability. All requests for printer purchases will be reviewed by the print management team in ITS for need, functionality and effectiveness before the order is processed.
