How to Use Follow Me Printing

Printing at Keyano College is made easy with the Follow Me printing service by Konica Minolta. This convenient system allows you to print your documents from any campus computer and pick them up at any Konica Minolta printer by simply swiping your Keyano ID card. Follow these steps to use the service effectively:

 

Step 1: Send Your Print Job

  1. Print from Any Application: When you're ready to print, select “Follow Me Printer” from the list of available printers.
  2. Adjust Settings: Before sending your print job, ensure that you’ve selected the correct settings (e.g., color or black & white, double-sided, etc.).
  3. Send to Queue: Once you're satisfied with your settings, click "Print." Your document will be sent to the Follow Me print queue.

 

Step 2: Retrieve Your Print Job

  1. Go to Any Konica Minolta Printer: Visit any Konica Minolta printer on campus.
  2. Swipe Your ID Card: Swipe your Keyano ID card on the card reader attached to the printer. This will bring up your list of pending print jobs.
  3. Select and Print: Choose the document(s) you wish to print from the list, and press “Print.” Your document will be printed immediately.
  4. Log Out: After your print job is complete, be sure to log out by pressing the “Log Out” button on the printer’s screen.

 

Important Considerations

  • Large Print Jobs: If your print job is over 25 pages, please consider submitting it to Reprographics instead of using the Follow Me system. This helps save time and ensures higher quality prints for larger documents. Simply email your document to reprographics@keyano.ca with your specific requirements, and the Reprographics team will handle the rest.

  • Environmental Responsibility: Remember to select double-sided printing whenever possible to help reduce paper usage and support Keyano College’s sustainability initiatives.

 

Troubleshooting

  • Printer Not Recognizing Your Card: If the printer doesn’t recognize your ID card, try logging out and back in again. If the problem persists, contact the IT Service Desk for assistance.
  • Error Messages: If you encounter any error messages, follow the prompts on the printer screen, or contact the IT Service Desk for support.

The Follow Me printing service by Konica Minolta at Keyano College offers a flexible and convenient way to manage your printing needs. Whether you're printing from your office, a classroom, or a library computer, this service ensures that your documents are secure and accessible at any printer on campus.
