Why do I have to log in?

The MFD devices allow for printing (black and white, color, and duplex), scanning, and copying to be done on a single device, increasing the availability of these services and eliminating the need for multiple printers and scanners.

The system for printing requires users to log in at the device to release the print job, which provides a more secure way of printing, prevents other users from photocopying documents using your funds, and reduces the number of unclaimed print jobs.  More information cant be found at:
