Description —
KU encourages all departments to use multifunction devices (MFDs) instead of traditional copy machines and printers. One MFD provides the functionality of a printer, copier, scanner and fax machine all from one device.
Most departments/units have one or more MFDs in work areas for faculty, staff and student employee printing, copying and scanning needs.
