Printing
FollowMe Printing ensures users print only what they need, preventing unnecessary printing and waste. It also helps protect document confidentiality as no document is printed until the user is present at the output device.
FollowMe creates a virtual environment for printing where users can roam and print securely when and where they require, totally independent of geographic location. If an output device fails or is out of service, there is no reason why this should affect user productivity, as FollowMe Printing allows users to simply walk to another device and release their print jobs.

- If approved by the Supervisor, the request then goes to the College Finance Business Partner who will ensure there are funds available and that the request is reasonable. It is therefore important that you quote the account number on the Service One request, otherwise this may lead to approval delays. If you do not know the account number, please contact College Finance.

- If the Request is rejected at any stage, a new Request will be required.

- For compliance purposes, when submitting an expense reimbursement or reconciling your University Corporate Credit Card, please attach a snip of the Service One final approval or quote the Service One number. If the approval is not attached in Flinders Pro it may delay the approval of your reimbursement.
