What happens if the Xerox contract printer in my office needs maintenance?

For maintenance or machine supplies such as ink, waste containers or staples contact the ITS Help Desk, x6034. They will contact the Xerox Rep on campus.

Who do I contact if my printer is out of paper?

To order paper for the Xerox contract machine contact print@umsl.edu with the machine serial number, and the location of the machine. Let us know when someone will be in the office to accept delivery. Paper other than 8.5x11 white and 8.5x14 white must be paid for by mocode, but can also be ordered.

How do I mail something?

For details and pricing, please call 314-516-5299 or email Jim at christopherjd@umsl.edu.

Is there information about standard mail pricing?

Again, pricing questions can be directed to Jim, above.

Standard Mail Pricing: Mass mailings that meet a few specific requirements may be eligible for the university’s non-profit postage status, which can save 35–50% in costs compared to mailing first class. In order to secure the non-profit pricing, Print and Mail Services pre-qualifies the mail pieces to ensure every
addressed piece is deliverable and meets the necessary requirements.

To qualify for a standard mailing:

  • Mailing must contain at least 200 valid pieces.
  • Addresses must be in Excel format and printed by Print and Mail Services.
  • The Print and Mail Services vendor will check sort order, bundle and complete postage forms, among other requirements.
