Think before you print

Aalto IT Services aims to provide efficient and free printing services for users. This requires thoughtful printing practices from both staff and students.

When printing, remember to:

• Avoid unnecessary printing.
• Edit your document before printing and only print the final version.
• Printers are intended for work and study use only.
• Print double-sided and in black and white whenever possible.

Aalto University's Uniprint printing service: Quick Guide

1 Identification

• You can log in to the new Ricoh multifunction devices with either the Aalto username/password combination or with your access card.
  
  Unlike the old printing system, cards other than your access card will not work with the new system. Registering a card on the multifunction device is not possible.
  
  If you already have an access card, it will work automatically for authentication without any additional steps.
• If you do not have an access card, only have an HSL card as an identifier, or only use Bitwards Mobile ID, please see the instructions for obtaining an access card at How to get an access token and access rights.
• Bitwards Mobile ID does not work for authentication with the multifunction devices.

2 Printing to multifunction devices 

• The AaltoPrint queue is automatically installed on Aalto University workstations.
• Remember to restart your computer within the Aalto network!
• If you cannot access the queue, installation instructions can be found on below on this page.
• The file you send to the print queue will be available for 8 hours.

NOTE: Students can print black and white documents from all devices; color printing is disabled. If you notice that a print job appears in the device's print queue but does not print, use the "Force bw" slider. This will ensure the document is printed out, and it will be in black and white.
