Supplies

Paper

Paper can be acquired by emailing or calling the Office of Procurement and Property Control Services. They will order it for you and it will be delivered right to the department. They come two days a week to provide the paper. Only white copy paper is covered by the central campus printing budget. All other paper orders will require departmental funds.

Toner, Staples, Waste Toner Containers, and Used Toner Recycling

Toner

Auto Toner Replenishment

All Toshiba Printers are configured to automatically order replacement toner cartridges when a toner cartridge on a device runs low. When each Toshiba Printer has approximately one week of toner left, an alert is automatically sent to the Supply Team at Toshiba. If your printer runs out of toner, you can contact Toshiba for a replacement. Please see the Toshiba contact information below to order replacement toner.

Staples

Staples are not included in our service and supplies contract with Toshiba. Please see the Toshiba contact information below to order replacement staples. 

Waste Toner Container

Waste toner containers can be picked up from the SUNY Geneseo Duplicating Center in Welles 13.  If you need to pick up a waste toner container before the Duplicating Center opens, please contact Procurement & Property Control Services at (585) 245-5100.

Waste toner containers can also be ordered from Toshiba. Please see the Toshiba contact information below to order a waste toner container.

Used Toner Recycling

Used toner cartridges can be dropped off at the SUNY Geneseo Duplicating Center in Welles 13.  The user toner must be placed inside the Used Toner Box without the original shipping box (just the cartridge).  If used toner cartridges are placed in the box with their original shipping box, the Duplicating Center will not be able to recycle the used toner cartridge.
