UCMGlobal Print Queue Service

Introduction

When you print documents from a computer lab workstation, a Library loaner laptop, or configure your personal laptop to print to the UCMGlobal print queue, you can pick up your print job from any printer or multi-function device with a CatCard Reader attached.

Service Details

Print services are available at a minimal fee to UC Merced Students, Staff, Faculty, and Visitors through a centralized print queue, called UCMGlobal. This service allows you to configure a single printer but utilize any of the CatCard Reader enabled printers around campus to retrieve your print job. Print fees are only intended to recover the paper and toner supply costs, and to maintain the UCMGlobal hardware and software. The UCMGlobal print solution is provided in an attempt to align with UC Merced's Sustainability efforts.

Sustainability Information

The Pharos Uniprint product that we have selected to administer our print queue, and the swipe, choose, and release solution that we have implemented, is part of our efforts to reduce paper waste from unclaimed or lost print jobs. By only printing jobs that have been selected by the person swiping their card, we ensure that the person will be at the printer to collect their documents, and give them the opportunity to cancel any print jobs that they may no longer wish to print.
