Multi-Function Devices

Queen's University prefers the procurement of Multi-Function Devices (MFD) to the purchase of individual electronic equipment items such as printers, copiers, scanners, etc. Sometimes referred to as 'multi-function printers', an MFD can copy, print, scan, email and fax all from one physical unit. Most MFDs will even allow you to carry out more than one of these tasks simultaneously. As a business solution the MFD is ideal because it allows your office to increase productivity, streamline tasks, save on office space and potentially decrease costs by only paying for and maintaining one machine instead of a number of individual machines.

Working with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS) Queen's has signed a 3 year agreement (2017-178-DPR-1 / OSS_00457979) with Ricoh Canada Inc. The agreement began on December 1, 2017 and expires January 31,2020.

Working with the Ontario Education Collaborative Marketplace (OECM) Queen's and OECM have signed an 8 year agreement with Xerox Canada for the provision of a wide range of multi-functional copiers and digital printers for the publicly funded educational sector in Ontario.  The agreement began on July 20, 2015 and expires February 14, 2023.
