I Need Toner, Who Can Help Me?
By Purchasing

Recently, there have been changes to the way we handle toner and staple orders for our printers and copiers. Here are some guidelines:

  • If you have a Savin or Lanier copier, you can order toner and/or staples in two different ways:

    • Call the TGI toll free phone number on the front of the machine and a service technician will deliver your order, OR

    • Order the toner and/or staples online at http://w3.tgioa.com/. Once your order is complete it will be delivered to you.

    • NOTE: If you order staples, please forward staple invoices to Purchasing at MS #27 for payment.

  • If you have another brand of copier such as Xerox or Canon, call the phone number on the front of the machine.

  • For the HP printers that have recently been installed, your toner will be delivered automatically from TGI. In the meantime, if you are running low or are out of toner please send an email to purchasing@palmbeachstate.edu to receive a toner cartridge. 

When you have replaced any toner cartridge, please put it in the box that the new toner came in and send it to MS#3 for recycling.
