Printing Instructions (Secure Print)

Introduction

During summer 2026, SCSU is implementing a new fleet of modern multifunction printers that will leverage secure print release, where individuals can release print jobs while at the printer using a mobile app or passcode (no mobile app required). This article provides an overview of the process to send and securely release documents.
