FlexPrint – Printing and Releasing Jobs at the Printer
With the Flex Print update, you will no longer print directly to a specific printer. Instead, select the appropriate print queue below:
- Stout_FollowMe – Department printers
- Public_FollowMe – Shared public printers that are not part of Flex Print
- ResHall_FollowMe – Residence hall printers that are not part of Flex Print
After printing, go to the printer you want to use and follow the steps below to release your print.
Release Print
At the Log in screen on the printer, enter your UW-Stout ID and tap Log in.
When logging in with your ID include the leading 0. Example Stout ID 123456. Enter in as 0123456
If the MFD has a card reader installed, tap your card on the card reader to log in.
Once logged in you will see your print queue and how many print jobs are ready to be released.
Either tap Print all to print all your waiting jobs or tap Print release to view your available print jobs.
Select the print job(s) you’d like to release and tap Print.
Release Print - Multiple Funding Strings
If you have multiple funding strings attached to your account, such as being with multiple departments or a student worker position, follow these steps to choose the correct funding string to release your print.
At the Log in screen on the printer, enter your UW-Stout ID and tap Log in.
When logging in with your ID include a leading 0. Example Stout ID 123456. Enter in as 0123456
If the MFD has a card reader installed, tap your card on the card reader to log in.
