As we begin a new academic year, OWU Print Services would like to share a few friendly reminders to help projects move smoothly, avoid unnecessary delays, and meet deadlines:
Department Printers
For problems with a department printer, please contact the 1-800 number displayed on the machine. Be prepared to provide the equipment ID number and a brief description of the issue. The service team will determine whether the issue can be resolved remotely or whether a technician needs to be dispatched.Department Codes
All internal print jobs must include a valid department code for billing purposes. Please verify your code is correct before submitting your project to eliminate delays.Submitting Print Projects
Please email your print-ready PDF to printservices@owu.edu. PDFs are required by production printers, and submitting by email adds your project to the production queue automatically.When submitting a project, please include:
- Quantity needed
- Color or black & white
- Single-sided or double-sided
- Any finishing requirements (folding, cutting, stapling, etc.)
Please also make sure your PDF file is properly sized and print-ready. If your file needs to be resized or significantly altered, please consider using an online tutorial or ChatGPT for assistance. We’re happy to help when we can, but we may not always have the capacity to resize files or recreate designs.
Course Manuals
Please submit course manuals to Print Services at least two weeks before the first day of classes. This lead time allows us to obtain the necessary paper and supplies, schedule adequate staff, and account for unexpected equipment issues.Class Print Requests
If you require students to print projects via Print Services, we require you to notify us three days before the deadline of the class project. Without this advance notice, we may not be able to accommodate your students and deadline.Last-Minute Requests
We always do our best to accommodate urgent requests, but equipment issues, large jobs that require several hours of production, staffing availability, and existing project schedules can affect turnaround times.We greatly appreciate your help in planning ahead and providing complete, print-ready PDF projects with enough lead time for us to maintain an efficient workflow and provide the best service possible.
Thank you, and we look forward to working with you this year!
