UCLA replaces printers in learning centers with printing kiosks

February 9, 2017

Printing kiosks have replaced all printers in learning centers at UCLA, according to The Daily Bruin.

UCLA Residential Life replaced the old printers with Wepa printing kiosks, which allow students to print files uploaded from cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox. There will be no changes to the printers in the Student Technology Center in Covel Commons, said UCLA spokesperson Rebecca Kendall.

The university installed several Wepa kiosks in learning centers on the Hill in January and in Ackerman Union in July.

Kendall added Hill residents received $5 credit on their Bruin Cards to use the Wepa printers and will receive an additional $5 credit at the beginning of each fall quarter from now on.

Kendall said Residential Life decided to switch exclusively to Wepa printers because they are available 24 hours a day and can be used without assistance from learning center staff.
