OVERVIEW
[This article applies to MA employees only.]
Sometimes you need to print a sensitive document and the printer you normally use is in a public (available to students and employees) or semi-public (available to just employees) area. The answer: print to "MA_Copiers"! When you print to the MA_Copiers printers your print job will not automatically print out. Instead, you will manually release it after logging into the copier with your fob or pin. This means your print job will not be left in the copier for anyone to see.
HOW IT WORKS
"MA_Copiers" is a printer installed on everyone's computer not unlike "BBLC Workroom" or "Thacher_Office". If you want to print securely (i.e. not have you print jobs automatically print out), follow these steps:
- Print to "MA Copiers". Your print job will not automatically print at any copier.
- Walk up to ANY copier and tap your fob or enter your pin.
- At the top you will see a message that "You have X print jobs pending" alongside with a "Print all" button.
- Press the "Print all" to automatically print all of the documents you sent to "MA_Copiers".
- Alternatively, you can press the "Print release" button and choose to print any jobs individually.
That's it! For extra security, you can pickup your print jobs at a copier not highly trafficked or bring folder to store the files in during your walk back to you office.
