You have three streamlined methods to initiate your print jobs at any Cardinal Print device. These user-friendly options ensure you can access your printed documents securely and swiftly from any location on campus.
To begin using Stanford Print and retrieve your documents from any Cardinal Print device, you can choose from these three simple methods:
- Stanford ID Card: The quickest way to access Stanford Print is by simply scanning your University ID card at any Cardinal Print device. This method instantly logs you in and allows you to release your print jobs.
- SUNet ID and Password: Alternatively, you can manually log in to any Cardinal Print device using your SUNet ID and password. This option provides the same access as using your ID card and is perfect if you don’t have your card readily available.
- Mobile Printing: For ultimate convenience, Stanford Print supports mobile printing. You can submit print jobs from your laptop, phone, or tablet and then retrieve them at any device on campus using either your ID card or SUNet ID login. For detailed instructions on mobile printing, including email submission and using the Cardinal Print Center, refer to the Mobile Printing guide.
Once you’ve initiated your print job using any of these methods, you can easily retrieve your output from any Cardinal Print device located across the Stanford campus. Each device is equipped with clear, step-by-step instructions posted directly on the machine, ensuring a hassle-free printing experience. You can also find more in-depth guidance through these helpful instructions and video tutorials (videos).
Key Features of Stanford Print:
- Color Printing and Copying: Need to print in color? Stanford Print devices offer full-color printing and copying capabilities. While the default settings are black and white and double-sided to promote sustainability, you can easily adjust these settings to color and single-sided as needed for your specific print job.
- No Printing Card Required: Forget about needing a separate printing card. Stanford Print utilizes your existing Stanford ID card or SUNet ID credentials for seamless access. You can also use Mobile Key on your smartphone for an even more streamlined login process.
- Student Account Charging: For students, printing and copying charges are automatically billed to your student account, simplifying the payment process.
- Departmental Printing Allowances: If you are working for a university department, your department may provide a printing allowance. At the Cardinal Print device, you will have the option to charge your printing costs to either your student account or your departmental allowance, if applicable. Consult your department administrator to learn more about departmental printing allowances and eligibility.
Stanford Print is designed to provide a user-friendly and efficient printing solution for the entire Stanford community. By offering multiple access methods and campus-wide availability, Stanford Print ensures that printing is always convenient and accessible whenever and wherever you need it.
