How do I get help with a printer? Anchorget_helpget_help
Call Com Doc at 1-800-321-4846 for help with printer problems. All supported devices should have a ComDoc "Service and Supplies" sticker on them. When calling ComDoc for support, they will ask you for the EQUIP ID number. This number is found on the device's ComDoc sticker. For any issues that ComDoc can not handle (e.g. Print Driver, Network Problems) please contact the ITS Help Desk at x8340.

The toner cartridge is almost empty. Anchorreplace_tonerreplace_tonerHow  How soon should we replace it?
For simplicity sake, it is best to wait until the toner cartridge runs out completely. Unfortunately, if you replace the toner cartridge of a Xerox MFD early (e.g. 1% remaining) you will need to log into the device in order to reset the toner level. In the event that this happens, call Com Doc at 1-800-321-4846 for assistance.

How do I get printer supplies?
Anchorget_suppliesget_suppliesToner and staples for supported equipment should be requested from ComDoc by calling 1-800-321-4846 and providing the EQUIP ID number (found on the device's ComDoc sticker). There is no additional charge for toner but staples will be charged to your budget. Continue to purchase paper from your usual sources.

What do I do with unused cartridges for the old printer? Anchorunused_tonerunused_tonerNew 12/2011

What should I do with used/empty toner cartridges? Anchorrecycle_tonerrecycle_toner
Updated 12/2011
In an effort to make it easier for the Canisius Community to do the right thing, we have simplified the process for recycling empty toner cartridges (and full waste-toner containers). Beginning December 2011, when a toner cartridge is empty (or when the waste-toner container is full) repackage the item to be recycled using the packing materials from the new item. Mark the box "RECYCLE" and send it to ITS through Inter-Office Mail.
