In alignment with KAUST’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 administrative buildings, with additional units in high-demand areas. Both old and new printers will run until the program phases out all old printers to minimize the impact of this transition.
- Single-user printers: These will be reduced based on usage data. All affected printer owners will be contacted for planning.
