titleWhy do I have to swipe my card every time I print?

All computers print to the FollowMe print queues (MyGrayscalePrintJob & MyColorPrintJob).  The MyGrayscalePrintJob queue will force any color information to be discarded and always print in black and white.  Using this option will ensure that you will not be charged at the more expensive color rates.  With these two queues, you can bypass problems at a particular printer, since you can swipe to print at all other printers on campus. It also ensures that your materials are only printed securely while you are there to receive them.   They will not be laying around in case you do not get to the printer right away.  We cannot change the way the FollowMe printing works. 

All users will need to have their ID cards in order to access the printers and copiers.  There is no manual login at the devices.

For many reasons, the device specific queues have been eliminated.  Concerns about secure information being left on printers for extended periods (HIPAA/FERPA), health concerns surrounding the current COVID pandemic,  print accountability and green campus initiatives have dictated this policy change.

If you cannot use your departmental device you can get your printing and copying at any of the publicly available devices.  A list of those locations is below.

Faculty and staff should only use their ID cards at the printer/copiers. These new systems are in place to hold users accountable for their print and copy usage. Nobody should not be using someone else's ID card or using the departmental CopyCards in place of their own.
