Managed Print Services Your Campus Printing Partners

What do you need to do?

If you do not need new equipment – you do not need to do anything as the transition of maintenance services to POA will take place seamlessly behind the scenes. Your existing machine should already, or will very soon, have a new sticker with POA’s contact information should you need any supplies or maintenance/repair services.

If you DO need new equipment – an Equipment Request Form will be made available on the new RedPrint website the week of July 8th. Once you’ve completed the request form, Print & Mail Services and POA will reach out to you for a quick equipment needs assessment conversation prior to equipment order, installation, and removal of your old device.

How does it work?

Departments will make decisions on which Utah standard model printer/multifunctional device to purchase or lease (48 months).

For ongoing maintenance and repair services, departments will be charged a cost-per-page fee based on actual print and copy volume. The cost per page will vary depending on B/W vs. Color impressions, type and age of the equipment, and size of paper. The cost per page includes toner, parts, maintenance services, and repair.  It does not include paper, staples, etc.

Departments will automatically be billed centrally via cost allocation journal voucher transfer on a calendar monthly basis on actual print/copy volume and lease payment (if applicable). Departmental cost allocation will take place one month in arrears, for example, pages printed in the month of July will be charged to the appropriate chart fields and reflected in the departmental budget in early September.

To streamline and simplify the process, POA will be Utah’s single point of contact for any and all service and supplies needs. Please contact and only contact POA directly via phone at 801-990-4001 or email at redprint@pacificoffice.com and a POA service representative will promptly address your issue and if appropriate, escalate to the applicable Utah IT resources to assist with issue resolution.
