UNLV Copier Program Service and Supplies Requests

All requests for new or replacement copiers must be made through Integrated Graphics Services so a needs assessment can to conducted to determine the best type of copier for a department based on historical volumes and work demands. Every effort will be made to work with departments regarding the appropriate equipment to meet needs and copy volumes, however, changes in equipment should not be made unless there is a demonstrated need. Keeping equipment changes to a minimum is in the best interests of the university and will help keep costs down. Please do not contact Elan directly for equipment.

As in the past, you will receive a bill each month through Integrated Graphics Services.

Helpful Hints and Tips

  • When using paper originals, be sure they are clean, unwrinkled, unstapled, untorn or creased
  • Originals should be the same size to minimize the chance of jamming
  • Store paper at room temperature and away from heating and air-conditioning ducts.
  • For best results always "fan" copier paper before loading it into the paper tray. Fanning also puts air between the sheets and reduces static electricity.
  • When loading the paper trays, make sure you have put the paper in straight to reduce misfeeds and jams.
  • Paper that is not used frequently should be taped shut in its wrapper to minimize moisture, which can cause jams and poor copy quality.
  • When using a code to make copies, be sure to delete the code when you are done.
