Printing Services

Quotas, adding printers, checking budgets

Departmental print  services are separate from the main UCL campus - you have a separate quota for both. This FAQ concerns printing within the EEE department only. The vast majority of people will print to the "Canon_Secure" print queue. This can then be picked up from any of the printers listed below that use the "Canon_Secure" queue.

Checking your print budget

  • When you touch in to an MFD, the initial screen should state your budget at the top.
  • You will receive an automated email advising you when your print quota is low.
  • You can also log into the print budget webpage to check your budget and print usage

Using your UCL ID Card to log into the printers

The MFDs require you to touch in in order to print, photocopy or scan. The first time you touch in, it will prompt you for your userid and password - these are the details you usually use to log into computer services at EEE (no @ucl.ac.uk needed). After you have registered these details once, they will be associated with your ID card and from then on you will just need to touch in to log in.
