Monitors

All monitors should be LCD-based energy-saving models. Due to support agreement terms and high quality, we are recommending monitors by:

  • NEC Display Solutions
  • Samsung Electronics
  • HP

Please note some older PCs are not capable of proper display on widescreen monitors. Multiple monitor configurations are acceptable. Please consult Desktop Support for PC hardware requirements.

Printers

Please choose printing devices carefully. They are generally expected to have long service lives, are fixed function (i.e. not reconfigurable like a PC to suit changing needs), and can be a major cost center if not chosen appropriately. Consulting AdCom Desktop Support before purchase is recommended. We recommend shared network printers for cost and energy efficiency. All models listed below are networked, duplexing, and Energy Star compliant:

  • <10 users - Samsung ML-2851ND, HP LaserJet P2055DN, Xerox Phaser 6280DN (color)
  • 10-20 users - HP LaserJet P3010DN, Xerox Phaser 3600DN, HP Color LaserJet CP3525DN, Samsung CLP-770ND
  • 20+ users - HP LaserJet P4015X, Xerox Phaser 4510DT, HP Color LaserJet CP4025DN, Xerox Phaser 6360DN

For multifunction (print/copy/fax/scan), inkjet, or other specialized requirements, please consult AdCom Desktop Support.

Due to compatibility with legacy applications and mainframe remote printing, all laser-based printers must support HP PCL or PostScript languages. "Host-based" printing is highly NOT recommended.
