Campus-Wide Copier Program

In a special effort to establish a more efficient process for obtaining office copiers, SIUE utilizes a single vendor, Watt's Sharp Copiers, to service the University. The SIUE/Watt's program was established to provide a more efficient and economical alternative to office copying.

Beginning February 1, 2006, departments have the opportunity to obtain a new office copier under the copier program. The decision to replace a current machine is up to each individual department. However, when changing and acquiring a new machine, participation is mandatory.


To obtain a copier under the Watt's/Sharp program:

1. Call Fast Copy Service at 650-3629 or e-mail nboomer@siue.edu and request an informational packet for the campus-wide copier program. This packet will include a SIUE/Watt's/Sharp contract, cost-per-copy guide, definitions and specification sheets for the individual copier listed.
2. After your department has made the decision to utilize the copier program, you will fill out the SIUE/Watt's/Sharp contract and submit the original to Fast Copy Service.
3. Fast Copy Service personnel will verify the account information, give an approval signature and then fax your request to Watt's. The department designated on the copier contract will be billed on a monthly basis according to the monthly minimums and options for the specific copier segment requested. The overages of copies, if applicable, will be billed at fiscal year end.
4. After the request has been faxed to Watt's, the sales or delivery representative will contact your department with specific information pertaining to your location.
5. Your new copier request will take approximately seven to ten working days to process and fill.
