Follow Me Printing Guide
The new printers "FollowMe_BW" and "FollowMe_COLOR" have been added to your computer and will be your PC's main printers for your department going forward. This guide will focus on how to print to these new printers and how to access your prints at your copier as well as how to use the scanning feature.
Printing from your Computer
- Select File > Print within your application and then choose "FollowMe" as your printer option. Choose "FollowMe_BW" for black and white prints or choose "FollowMe_COLOR" if you want color prints. (Note - the "Paused" status is normal.)
Releasing your Prints at your Copier (Initial Login)
We will associate your key card to your account in this step. It is a one-time process.
- Approach the copier and swipe your key card over the card reader one time. You will be taken to a screen to enter your username and password – this is the same user and pass you would use to log into your school computer.
Card Reader
Username and Password Entry
- Press "Associate" when you are done entering your information. If the user and password were correct, then the card is linked with your account. You may press ok when finished.
From here on out, in order to access your print jobs, the functions of the copier, and your scanner options you'll only need to swipe your badge on the reader.
- After you've completed the previous steps, login by swiping your key card. You will now see your Papercut Follow Me options, including your print release queue and a notification of any pending print jobs. When you are finished with the copier simply scan your badge once more to log yourself out or you may press the "Log out" button in the top right.
