In alignment with the university’s sustainability and optimization goals, the IT department is introducing a Green Printing Program to upgrade old printers with new, energy-efficient multi-functional printers. The rollout will commence immediately following the announcement.

Key Benefits:

• Reduced Energy Consumption
• Enhanced Security
• Smart Printing Features including QR code authentication and mobile printing via the KAUSTCentral App

   

  Impact on Current Printers:

• Shared A3/A4 Printers: new printers will be installed on each floor in academic and admin buildings, with additional units in high-demand areas. Both old and new printers will run until the program phases out all old Smart printers to minimize the impact of this transition.
• Single-User Printers: These will be reduced based on usage data. All affected printers' owners will be contacted for planning.
