Printing, copying and scanning

You can print, copy and scan documents using the University's DS-Print enabled multi-function devices (MFDs) in many Colleges and Departments. Our Printroom provides high-volume reprographics services.

How to print

Students

You can print to DS-Print devices from desktops in MCS computer rooms and from your own devices, when connected to the University network. Printing is paid for through credits on your Common, or Local Balance. You may need to install DS-Print software first. You can find out more about credits and topping-up below.

How to top-up your DS-Print credit

Many Colleges and Departments use the University-wide Common Balance, while some operate their own Local Balance scheme, which may include some free credits. There's a full list below.

Local Balance credits

Ask your local IT staff about topping up your Local Balance credits. You can check your balance online via the My DS-Print portal.

Common Balance credits

You can top-up your Common Balance online using the My DS-Print portal, or with cash at some participating institutions – including our own Service Desk. The minimum top-up is £1, which buys about 20 black and white A4 sheets of printing or copying.
