Training, Compliance, and Policies

  • Parkland College implemented a Managed Print Service contract with GFI which covers maintenance and supplies for all laser printers on campus and well as Sharp and Ricoh copiers. All supported devices should be labeled with a GFI ID number similar to 'CX100' and toner cartridges should automatically be delivered to you. When you report a printer issue or toner that was not proactively received, Campus Technologies will contact GFI on your behalf. Ink-jet printers, as well as copiers other than those mentioned above, are not included in the GFI agreement.  Departments that currently have those devices will need to continue to pay for service and supplies.
  • Campus Technologies may ask to use a remote assistance tool called Parkland Remote Support which will allow for the technician to remotely view your computer and temporarily take over control in order to troubleshoot the issue. 
  • Users must follow the computer access and network usage rules as defined in policy 3.40 of the Parkland College Policies and Procedures Manual
