Des Moines Campus Print Overview
This article is an overview of the printing services on the Des Moines Campus Printers.
Global / Find-Me-Print
DMU offers a global "find-me-print" queue for both the DM and WDM campuses. The queue for the Des Moines Campus Is
- Staff_Printers_Xerox (DM Campus)
Find-Me-Print queues utilize Papercut print management with Xerox Altalink and Versalink devices which are located in general areas around both campuses. Print your document to either of the global print queues and it will be available to release at any connected printer. Swipe your badge or enter your DMU username and password, and you can release them using the Papercut menu.
Important Info:
- The print queues for DM and WDM campus are separate. You cannot print to the DM campus print queue and release it from the WDM campus print queue, and vice versa.
-
Students will need to add money to their Papercut account in order to print or make copies. You can find help for that here: https://dmu.freshservice.com/a/solutions/articles/14000044107
