Photocopier and printing
The École Polytechnique offers a printing, copying and scanning service to its administrative staff, teachers and students. This offer is based on one of Toshiba's multifunction copiers and "Papercut" print management software.
PaperCut MF inclut un logiciel embarqué pour permettre un suivi, un contrôle et une sécurisation de la libération des impressions à partir de l’écran de l’appareil. Ses fonctionnalités permettent d’éliminer le gaspillage et d’encourager un comportement responsable allant dans le sens d'une démarche collective de réduction des gaz à effet de serre engagée par l’École (Solution papercut à télécharger).
