How do I Order Paper?

PLEASE NOTE: The username and password for the paper ordering system IS NOT YOUR GMU USERID AND PASSWORD. If you have never ordered from the online system before and would like to, you will need to contact Aqua (contact information is below)

Why order paper through Print Services?

To service our pay-for-print and copier operations, Print Services has an established relationship with an outside vendor to purchase paper through with a lucrative volume discount. Our prices are well below any of the vendors currently serving the Mason community, and we strive to keep our prices as low as possible. When budgets are tight and resources are scarce, we all can do our part to save money and the environment.

We currently offer 30% recycled-content 20lb white Letter (8.5" x 11") and Legal (8.5" x 14") sizes for use in Print Services-managed copiers and for office use. Other specialty papers (colors, sizes, weights) can be ordered through the eVA Procurement System through approved vendors (currently The Supply Room Company)

Costs

Copier paper is included in the impression cost charged by the card readers. When ordering paper for your Print Services-managed copier, you will not be charged. For office-use paper (fax machines, desktop printers, etc), the costs are:

Delivery

Delivery of paper orders made through Print Services are handled by Central Receiving. Expect for paper orders to be delivered within 1-2 business days after the order has been placed.

Ordering Paper

All white paper orders will need the following information:

• An Organization Code (ORG CODE) to bill the cost
• Contact information of the recipient (Name and Extension)
• If ordering for a Print Services copier, the Copier Number affixed to the front of the device (3 to 4-inch high red vinyl numbers)
• A location to deliver the paper to. To ensure delivery, it is best to provide a location that is staffed during normal business hours.

White paper can be ordered two ways:

1. Using Print Services online ordering system (http://paperorder.gmu.edu)
2. By calling the Print Services Admin Office at (703) 993-2550

To order paper online, you will need a User ID and Password. Your department may already have been issued these for checking Copy Center Chargeback reports. If you don't have a User ID and Password, contact Print Services.

Ordering Paper online

Once you have a User ID and Password remember to keep them in a safe place. Follow these steps to order paper:

1. Type the URL as paperorder.gmu.edu in Internet Explorer ONLY. Firefox and Netscape do not work. Do not use WWW or http.
2. When you reach the screen that says 'Remote access code required', type in your old password. Remember to use lowercase letters.
3. You will now see a screen that says "Access Confirmed"
4. Click a tab and select any items as needed until you are finished.
