Print Unit: additional services
Self-service photocopying
Locations: Sussex House; Print Unit (Hastings Building)
The Print Unit provides managed self-service photocopying facilities at the above locations. In Sussex House, self-service copying facilities are available to authorised users via a 4-digit access code - the copies made are logged automatically and recharged to the relevant budget code at the end of the month. Copies are charged at 3p per A4 print and 6p per A3, including paper. If you are a user of the facilities in Sussex House and require an access code, please contact us on 8216.
There is a self-service photocopier in the Print Unit which is available for use by all. Access is by use of pre-paid value cards which are available from the Print Unit in various denominations:
A single A4 copy = 1 unit. A3 copies are 2 units each.
The types of cards available are:

Please note: some schools and departments have their own self-service facilities which use similar value cards. Only cards purchased from the Print Unit will work in our copier. Similarly, our copy cards will not work in machines in other areas (e.g. the Library).
Please treat self-service photocopiers with respect. They are mechanical devices and subject to occasional breakdown which can be frustrating for users, but rough and/or careless use will only make them more unreliable.
You can help us to keep all our self-service copiers in good working order by clearing paper jams yourself when you find them: every copier has an LCD display which shows diagrammatically where the jam has occurred, and the possible jam locations are all clearly labelled and easily accessible when the front cover of the copier is opened. Where you encounter a machine breakdown or an unrecoverable jam, please report them to us on 8216.
Photographic and imaging services
We have a professional photographer in the team who is available by appointment for individual portrait photography (e.g. for departmental staff boards) and group portraits. He can also undertake some additional location work by prior arrangement. Processing and supplying prints is part of the service. Contact Keith Hunt on 3278.
We also offer a scanning and digital imaging service. This can range from individual high-resolution colour scanning from photographs, to bulk scanning in black and white of multi-page documents for digital distribution. (Please note that the regulations regarding copyright now apply to scanning as well as copying.)
Paper
The Print Unit can supply office copying paper to other departments on demand. You can order from us by the box or the ream, and we can normally fulfil a paper order within 24 hours. Because we order in bulk we are often able to offer better prices than office suppliers. We stock large quantities of white copy paper and in smaller quantities, a range of different colours.
