16 Printing is Expensive Sample annual printing expenses – 5000 students Supplies$150,000 (3 cents/page, 5MM pages) Help Desk$ 62,500 (10 minutes/user/term $25/hr) Maintenance $ 2,000 (2 hours/printer/year) Print Mgmt$ 6,000 (Amortized over 5 yrs, no card system) Fix/Replace $ 8,000 (2 or 3 printers / yr) Print Servers $ 4,000 (Replace/repair avg) Student Angst $ 40,000 (20 minutes / student each term @ $8/hr) The actual costs of printing on campus can vary widely – but it is expensive. PrinterOn is an effective way to get the most value out of your printing systems and reduce User Help expenses and wasted User Time.

17 Application - Libraries High number of walk-ins asking for help setting up their notebooks for printing. CAT5 drops, 802.11 Wireless, and kiosk PCs need to coexist peacefully. Simplify printing. No need to install print drivers or hardware, or learn technical details. The “poor man’s” copy shop. Print from home or residence often a requirement.

18 Application – Labs or Faculties Trend is a move towards wireless. More students with notebooks, often required for programs. Desire to print from lab or nearby, then pick up documents. Often require restrictions by course or department.

19 Application – Residences Print Less! and environmental pressures are common. Every student with an inkjet printer on their desk results in lots of waste (cartridges and printers), a loss of living space, and an electrical connection issue. Centralized laser printers are less expensive for students, reduce waste and room clutter. PrinterOn can simplify setup and operation of printing for hundreds or thousands of students each semester.
