Service Overview
Find-Me Printing
Find-Me Printing is a convenient solution that allows you to send your print jobs to a universal queue and release them at any printer on campus. This eliminates the need to select a specific printer when sending your print job and provides flexibility in choosing the most convenient printer for you. Whether you are on a desktop PC, mobile device, or laptop, Find-Me Printing ensures that your documents are accessible from any find-me enabled printer.
Secure Print Release
Secure Print Release is a feature that ensures your print jobs are held securely until you are ready to release them at the printer. This prevents unauthorized access to your documents and ensures that sensitive information is not left unattended. You can release your print jobs by logging into the printer using your credentials or by using your mobile device to scan a QR code.
Why This Change?

Convenience and Flexibility
No need to select a specific printer. Simply send your print job to a universal queue and release it at any Find-Me enabled printer on campus, whether you’re using a desktop, laptop, or mobile device. Your documents are accessible from anywhere.
-
Enhanced Security
Authentication (via OneCard or MyCampus login) ensures that only you can release and collect your prints, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that your documents are secure.
-
Sustainability and Efficiency
By ensuring prints are only collected by the intended user, we reduce unnecessary print jobs, contributing to a more eco-friendly campus. This system also minimizes printing errors, saving resources and reducing costs.
-
Pricing Awareness
You will only be charged once you release your print job. A breakdown of the price will be shown before confirming the release. If you don't release the print job, no charge will apply.

Improved Campus-Wide Access
You can release your print jobs at any student-facing printer on campus. If one printer is busy, simply move to another, reducing wait times and improving convenience.
