Guidelines for Purchasing Printers or Scanners

Salisbury University maintains a contract with Canon to provide printing and scanning solutions across campus. This partnership offers several key advantages and aligns with the University’s sustainability goals.

Using Canon printers and scanners is the preferred and recommended option for all campus departments because it:

• Provides cost savings through the University’s established contract.

• Simplifies IT support by ensuring all devices are standardized and easily maintained.

• Supports campus sustainability initiatives led by the Physical Plant and energy advisors.

In certain situations, a Canon device may not be the most suitable option—for example:

• The department operates in a remote location not serviced by Canon.

• There are special requirements that cannot be met by Canon equipment.

If an alternative device is needed, a request must be submitted through IT’s ticketing system:

Please include the following information in your request:

1. Reason why a Canon device is not feasible.

2. Specific needs or requirements for the printer or scanner.

3. Any supporting details or documentation relevant to your request.

IT will review the submission and work collaboratively with the department to determine the most appropriate solution.
Each request is considered on a case-by-case basis, with the shared goal of supporting a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable campus environment.
