Student Lab Printing
UMSL has implemented a system that will manage student use of lab printers. Any currently registered student receives a set dollar amount instead of a page quota per semester to use for coursework. A mechanism is also available enabling students to provide funding to a personal account if they need more printing resources.
For questions or problems regarding student printing using the allotted SAX35 account, please contact Instructional Support Services (314) 516-6852 or ic@umsl.edu, or contact a member of the Lab Staff.
For all other printing inquires pertaining to a non-SAX35 account, please contact Printing Services at (314) 516-5233 or print@umsl.edu.

UMSL has implemented a managed print services program for academic and administrative units located on the main campus. To download printer packages, visit Software Center to download your package information. This program is managed by UMSL Printing Services in cooperation with Information Technology Services. This program provides staff with a variety of print options and creates cost certainty for budget managers. Pharos software is being used to capture and manage print charges.
Student Lab Printing
One week prior to a new semester, all students with paid enrollment fees for that semester will receive a balance of $15.00 to be used for printing. This amount is based on the current lab print quota of 375 black & white impressions at a rate of $0.04 per impression, or 150 color impressions. [An impression is considered any amount of ink printed on one side of one piece of paper.] Instead of tracking by pages, printing will be tracked by dollars as it is done in the departments. Once the semester is over the balance is zeroed out in preparation for the next semester. Quotas do not roll over to future semesters.
For students that exhaust the quota, you can establish a MoCode with funds that you have charged to your personal credit card.
When adding credit to your Personal Printing account, please be aware that the credit added to your Personal Printing account (SCRDT) is non-refundable and stays available for use until you are no longer active or eligible as a student. Eligibility is until you are not enrolled in a course for three consecutive terms. More information about refunds for student printing.

Printing is charged per printed page. The cost for color print is significantly more than black and white. Any color content on a page triggers the charge for a color page. The charge is per imprint on a page, so if you are printing in duplex mode, the cost is per side of the page. If one side of a two-sided page has color on it and the other side is black ink only, the charge will be for one color page and one black and white page. If your file has color test or images, but you select to print as black/white, then your document will print with black ink only and charged the black/white cost per page. Supplies and paper are included in the per page charge. The campus will pay Xerox centrally and bill campus departments individually.

Student Lab Printing Direct Print
With direct printing, you select the device you want to use by choosing the appropriate print queue (i.e. ESH-444-CQ8870). Direct print queue names will be in the format bldg-room-model). You will have to provide your SSO ID and password and choose a MoCode so that the print is charged back to your department correctly.
Faculty, Staff, and Student Employee Printing
Two printing options are available. The printer/queue that you select when you print will determine if you are printing directly to a specific device, or if you are sending your print to a queue where it is held until you release it on a secure release enabled device.

You will have to provide your SSO ID and password and choose a MoCode so that the print is charged back to your department correctly.
Secure Release
This printing option uses one print queue, named "Secure Print Queue." When you choose the Secure Print Queue, your job is stored and does not print until you go to a secure release device, scan your UMSL ID card and release your print job. You can release your print on ANY secure release device on campus. All Xerox multi-function devices have secure release effective Fall 2020. When you release the job, you select your MoCode so that the print is charged back to your department correctly. The secure release option allows you to print files from your mobile device. You can view your queued jobs at the device or through an online application. You can also view your print transactions and cost history with the MyTritonPrint application.

To assist with UMSL's sustainability efforts, Xerox offers toner drop off locations on North and South Campus as follows:
Toner from Xerox, as well as most any other manufacturer, can be dropped off for recycling. In addition to toner cartridges, other Xerox printer consumable parts can also be dropped off.
If the Xerox printer you use needs supplies or service, let us know at help.umsl.edu or by calling the Help Desk at x6034.
You can also visit Xerox's Green World Alliance page to access a list of Xerox "Take Back" items and details on recycling them.
