Registering your Uni card on the printer

Before you can print with the printers in the hallways at the Department of Statistics, you need to register your Oxford University card at any of the printers. Simply tap your card on the card scanner, and then when prompted, enter your Stats IT Account Windows username and password. This is not your Oxford SSO.

Once you have successfully registered your card at a printer, you can release your print jobs from any printer by simply tapping your card and then selecting your print job from the job list, then tap Print & Keep or Print & Delete.
