ITS supports networked printers and multi-function devices in all departments on campus. You can print to these printers from your ODU-managed workstation or from a personal computer connected to ODU's VPN.
MonarchPrint
The easiest way to print on campus is with MonarchPrint. Send a document to the MonarchPrint cloud and swipe into any Konica Minolta printer with your ODU ID card or Mobile ID to release your print job. (Previous EVMS employees are eligible for an ODU ID. More information here.)
(Because costs are automatically charged to your department when you swipe your University ID card at a machine, we need your budget unit director (BUD) to approve card access to MFPs. Start by filling out this form.)
