When using the printers for the first time, students must perform a one-time card activation to tie their ID card to their printing account. To activate your card:
After this one-time activation, students simply need to touch their cards to the reader in order to log in. When using a card to log in the black box will flash a green light to signify a successful log in. If you forget your card, you can still log in by using the keyboard to enter your Drake credentials.
Note: Do not punch a hole in your ID card. It will no longer work, and you will have to pay for a replacement.
The printers are set to log out after about a minute of inactivity. If you are finished at the printer and want to log out before time runs out, either:
From the PaperCut MF main screen press the log out symbol in the upper right of the screen next to the user name.
From the device home screen select the user ID number in the upper left and choose log out from the menu there.
Users can also log out at any time by touching their card to the black box. The green light will flash signifying the card is recognized.
