# Print Device Categorization

The **Universität Greifswald** implements a tiered access model for its Multifunction Printers (MFPs) within the [[print-management-system]].

## Access Tiers

| Category | Authorized Users | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Student Devices** | Students, Staff (excluding UMG) | Generally open access. |
| **Staff Devices** | Staff (excluding UMG), Student Assistants | Preferred for official business. |

## Billing Models for Staff Devices
Staff devices are further divided by their billing status:
- **Central Billing (Zentrale Abrechnung)**: The cost is handled centrally by the university.
- **Non-Central Billing**: Usage is not automatically covered centrally; users must coordinate with the [[referat-beschaffung]] for approval.

## Pricing Tiers
Devices are associated with different price lists (indicated as 1, 2, or 3 in the device directory), implying that costs vary depending on the device's location or category.
