SFU and  Konica Minolta have a 5-year partnership to provide multi-function copiers, printers and a managed print service for all SFU campuses.


The SFU Managed Print Services (MPS) project has the following objectives.

  • Provide a streamlined method of charging for copies and for network print jobs.
  • Establish the MFD management process with Konica Minolta.
  • Optimize the SFU MFD/printer/copier fleet to ensure it is properly utilized and meets needs.
  • Promote paper conservation by encouraging deliberate and appropriate use of copiers and printers.



MPS Services

As of December 1, 2012 the rollout of the MPS project is complete. Work continues to refine services and to add existing SFU printers to the managed fleet.

Some of the services available are:

  • KM MFDs
  • KM Printers
  • Management & Servicing of existing SFU printers
  • Papercut for print job cost tracking
  • Print & Copy card service for recovery of printing costs on public devices.
  • Web print to allow easy printing to the SFU printer fleet from mobile devices (your department must enroll in Papercut)
  • Document Solutions offers a full range of print shop services, printing exams, books, posters, promotional materials as well as offering bulk scanning and duplicating service.


Purchasing an Additional MFD

An assessment was completed in December 2012 that confirmed that all current MFD needs were met.  Departments that determine their needs have changed and that they require an additional MFD will be able to purchase one from KM at favorable pricing.  Please contact Document Solutions for details.  New MFD Install process

Purchasing New Konica Minolta Printers

SFU has identified three models of KM printers that are available for purchase.  These printers will be automatically enrolled in the MPS contract, providing departments with economical managed printers to suit their business needs.  Information on how to order a printer and the installation work-flow.

Enrolling Existing Printers in the MPS Contract

SFU has contracted Km to provide toner and service to our existing fleet of printers at the same low price per page we pay for the use of the MFDs.  For the vast majority of SFU's printers, this will result in a significant savings.  Information on how to enroll an existing printer into the MPS contract.
