Printing

We get it — office supplies, especially printers, can get pricey. That’s why we’ve come up with some great options for you. Follow this guide to set up our printing options, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our team if you need any help!

All of our printers offer the following print options:

Black and White
Color
Duplex Printing & Scanning
Print from USB

Just a heads-up: while we do offer printing options to make your day easier, there might be extra charges if you’re running the printer in excess. If you find yourself with larger print jobs, you can check out Missouri State University’s Printing Department.
