Using Your Simmons ID Card to Access Printers

A new multi-function device at Simmons CollegeFollowing the initial rollout of new printers across campus, Technology is preparing to activate ID card readers for faculty and staff. The card readers will provide access to all of the new multi-function devices (MFDs) on campus using your Simmons ID card. You’ll be able to print, copy, and scan quickly and securely from any MFD on campus by tapping your ID card on the reader.

This change provides faculty and staff with the same flexibility that CampusPrint provides to students: a networked, campuswide solution that allows you to get your documents when and where you need them.

In addition, networked MFDs with ID card access help to create efficiencies and to conserve resources by separating black & white and color print jobs, and by defaulting to double-sided printing.

As the ID card readers are activated for faculty and staff, Technology will be providing training to ensure that you have the resources you need. Project manager Roy Balcom will coordinate training sessions with each department, as needed. If you have questions about scheduling a training, please contact him at[email protected].
