Subject: Desktop Printer Removal Begins May 18

As previously announced, in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, Global Procurement Services (GPS) will retrieve all employee convenience desktop printers globally in favor of networked group or shared floor printers.

Starting the week of May 18, members of IT Desktop Services, Global Realty Services and GPS will remove identified existing desktop printers at your location. We ask that you fully cooperate and provide the team with full access to your desktop printers. If you have extra toner cartridges that are for the printer that is being removed, you can identify them to the removal team, and they will mark them for pick up as well.

We will provide all employees whose printers are removed with detailed instructions on mapping to networked or shared printers and how to print confidential documents. If you regularly print confidential or sensitive documents, you can use the 'User Mailbox' feature on multi-function printers, which will not print documents until you enter the correct password on the printer.
