West Des Moines Campus Print Overview
This article is an overview of the printing services on the West Des Moines Campus.
Global / Find-Me-Print
DMU offers a global "find-me-print" queue for both the DM and WDM campuses. The global print queue for the West Des Moines Campus is.
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:
