Secure Printing
In Aalto we have a private Cloud printing model in use. This means that a printing job can be sent to a single printing queue and then released from any Printing Point device. This way there is no accidental printing and there is no waist from forgetting to pick up your printing jobs.
When you send a print job to the SecurePrintPS print queue the job will be printed after you have identified yourself on the Printing Point device. To see the SecurePrint devices in the premises scroll to the bottom of this page.
In order to register yourself to the system see the Registration instruction page.
Print your jobs on both sides of the paper whenever you can, and use electronic materials to avoid unnecessary printing. Unprinted jobs will disappear from the print queue after 8 hours. A Printing Point device is a printer, so stapling or any other post-processing might not possible.
