A little history

Over the past few years, the Canon Multifunction Printers (MFPs) have had an enormous impact on the University’s ability to print, scan, fax, and copy.  They’ve allowed us to reduce costs and have required less support on the part of ITS technicians when compared to our aging HP LaserJet and inkjet printers. Beginning immediately, ITS is pleased to introduce a new set of features and functionality into these devices:
 

What is Secure Print?

With Secure Print, all faculty and staff will be able to send documents to an on-campus print server.  The documents will sit in a queue and users will have the ability to print those documents from any Canon MFP across campus. Simply by swiping your University ID card, the document will be released for printing.  No longer will confidential information sit on the printer for all to view.
 

What is Mobile Printing:?

Along with Secure Print, ITS is also introducing printing to the Canon MFPs from mobile devices.  As long as the mobile device (e.g. iOS/Android) –- has the ability to email an attachment from your University Exchange email account to print@fairfield.edu, the Canon MFPs can store the document until you’re ready to print it.  The document can be printed in the same manner as the Secure Print option. 

The new features are available now for this pilot phase. Effective fall semester 2016 in collaboration with the Educational Technology Committee, Secure Mobile print will be the only way to print on campus. Take a test drive now.
