Sending/Uploading Print Jobs and Securely Releasing at a Networked Printer

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.

  3. Select “HuskyPrint Secure” as the printer.
