Releasing Print Jobs

Our printers have two ways to make releasing your jobs quick and easy. This section covers how to get set up for Wildcard tap-to-release, and touchless release using a QR Code.

Wildcard tap-to-release

To allow quicker log in, you can register your Wildcard's RFID chip so you can more easily tap to log into KPrint Printers. To do this one-time registration walk up to any KPrint printer and:

• 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 Assosciate 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!
