What is the “follow-me printing” system?
Target Audience: Iscte Employees
Answer/Solution:
Follow-me printing is the printing system used at Iscte that allows you to send documents to a centralized print queue instead of a specific printer.
Submitted print jobs are placed on hold and are only printed when the user logs in to a printer or multifunction device on campus using their Iscte card.
- When printing, select the iscte on printers.iul.intra.
- The job is stored in the system for a limited time.
- It is associated with the user who sent it.
- It is not visible to other users.
- Go to any available printer or multifunction device on campus.
- Authenticate with your Iscte card.
- Select the document(s) and confirm printing.
Advantages of the System:
- Security: Prevents documents from being left exposed in trays
- Flexibility: You can print on any printer on campus
- Waste reduction: You only print when necessary, and if not retrieved, documents can be automatically deleted after a certain period
- Mobility: Does not depend on a specific location
If You Encounter Difficulties:
You should contact IT Support, providing the following information:
- Printer name (iscte on printers.iul.intra)
- Location and type of equipment (printer or multifunction device)
- Document name (if possible)
