Printing and the uniFLOW Online Service

Introduction

The new uniFLOW Online service brings new features to Campus printing and scanning, including:

NOTE: the option to print to the "Tiger-Print" printer will only work with those MFDs that have not been replaced. The "TigerPrint Online" option will only work with those printers that have been replaced. You can tell which MFDs have been replaced as they will have a QR Code on the MFD's panel display.

  • Better support for printing via Email
  • Printing a document via web page upload
  • Printing from personal computers anywhere, not just on campus
  • Scanning items directly to Campus OneDrive accounts and Team Sites
  • Printing of items on Campus OneDrive accounts and Team Sites
  • Easier printing from Mobile devices through a uniFLOW Online Mobile app
  • Easier print job release at MFDs through the Mobile App

 


Changes with the new uniFLOW Online service

With a new service there are going to be some changes as always, but this should help ease you through some of the changes.

  • Print jobs are now stored for 1 day as opposed to only 8 hours
  • The printer will now be listed as TigerPrint Online, and you will select that option to print to, even for the non-mfd printers. When you select that option it will give you a pop-up to select either "Secure Print" or any other available printers in your area you can print to. For a short time you will still see both the old TigerPrint and printer options, as we deploy the printers around campus. The pop-up option will not appear unless you can select a local printer.
  • In the past you had to select the Personal Cost Center when printing, now with the new options, it will only bring up the pop-up if you have the option to choose a different printer. Otherwise it will always print to the Secure TigerPrint option.
  • No longer an option to go into the negative with your printing balance. In the previous version some people were able to print and print and print, with out having to worry about getting stopped by their print quota. In this new service the print quota is strictly enforced, which means when you run your quota out, it will not let you print or copy any further until ITS takes a look. More on how this will be handled coming soon.
  • Cost Centers for Student workers. This is changing as well, and more will information will be provided about this soon as well.

Printing

How much does it cost to print something?

At the beginning of each Fall and Spring Semester students are allocated $100 in funds, up to a maximum of $400. This equates to 1,000 Black and White single sided pages a semester. Here is a breakdown of the costs.

Printing costs

  • Black & White Single Sided 10¢ per page
  • Black & White Double-Sided* 15¢ per double-sided page
  • Color Single Sided** 25¢ per page
  • Color Double Sided** 45¢ per double-sided page

NOTES:

* Most MFDs are set to this by default (B&W only, double-sided)
** Not all MFDs are color, if you release a color print job on a Black and White MFD it will only charge you for Black and White.

These costs are for all printers around campus; both Multi-Function Printers (MFDs) and non-MFDs.

When you sign in to an MFD, and click "Secure Print" your current budget will be listed near the top left of the panel.

The other options, such as TigerPrint on india15, will eventually not be present

Or you can select the printer that is the lab, and it will print out at that printer
NOTE: This window will only appear if you are in a location that has a local network, non mfd, printer available. If there is not a local network printer, it will defaut to secure print, and not display this window.

  • Make sure the mag stripe on your ID is facing away from the light on the reader
