Introduction
HuskyTech coordinates supplies for St. Cloud State University's networked printers, including standard paper, toner, staples, and waste toner containers. To help ensure supplies remain available, many printers have designated departments that assist with receiving, storing, and replenishing supplies, particularly paper. If a printer location needs supplies, please submit a Printer Supply Request to notify HuskyTech.
HuskyTech provides standard paper, toner, staples (where applicable), and waste toner containers. Departments or individuals that choose to use specialty printing materials are responsible for purchasing and supplying those materials for their own use and are not expected to provide specialty materials for other departments or users.
Instructions
Paper
- Departments designated to receive, store, and replenish paper for nearby printers should monitor supply levels and submit a Printer Supply Request proactively, providing at least three (3) business days' notice whenever possible. This allows HuskyTech sufficient time to coordinate ordering and delivery with Printing Services.
- To ensure efficient inventory management, please request only the quantity needed for approximately one month's supply and avoid excessive stockpiling.
- HuskyTech provides standard white paper in:
- Letter (8.5" × 11")
- Legal (8.5" × 14")
- Tabloid (11" × 17")
- Specialty materials, such as colored paper, letterhead, envelopes, labels, or cardstock, are the responsibility of the department or individual using them and are not supplied by HuskyTech.
- If a printer is out of paper or a specific paper size is unavailable, submit a Printer Supply Request indicating the paper size needed.
Toner
- Metro Sales Inc. automatically ships toner when a device reports that its toner levels are running low. With the exception of the Precision Driving Center, all toner cartridges will be directed to HuskyTech. HuskyTech will plan to install toner cartridges on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you need a toner refilled urgently, please submit a Printer Supply Request.
- Empty toner cartridges may be:
- Dropped off at HuskyTech (Miller Center 201 Service Desk), or;
- Sent to HuskyTech through intercampus mail.
Staples
- If a printer equipped with stapling capabilities is running low on or has run out of staples, submit a Printer Supply Request.
Waste Toner Containers
- If a printer indicates that its waste toner container requires replacement, submit a Printer Supply Request.
