Releasing Print Jobs

No matter how you sent the print job, our printers have multiple ways to make releasing print jobs quick and easy. While you can log in to KPrint printers using your NetID and NetID password, this section covers how to get set up for Wildcard tap-to-release, and touchless release by scanning printer QR codes using your mobile device.

Wildcard Tap-to-Release

To allow quicker login, you can register your Wildcard's RFID chip so you can more easily tap to log into KPrint Printers. To complete your one-time card registration, at any KPrint printer:

• Tap your Wildcard on the card reader on the right side of the printer
• First-time users will be prompted to enter their NetID and password
• Enter your NetID and password
• Touch Associate Card. You are now registered.
• Tap your Wildcard to the reader again to Log Out
• Next time you'd like to log into a printer, just tap your Wildcard!
