Multifunctional printers
You can print, copy and scan with the multifunctional printers found in Oppari self-study space, libraries and computer lecture rooms. The multifunctional devices are located in Joensuu in Carelia, Agora, Borealis, Educa, Futura, Metria, and Natura campus buildings, and in Kuopio in Oppari in Canthia and Snellmania Library: see Joensuu campus map ja Kuopio campus map (links open in a new tab).
Printing queue name
All shared printers in UEF are connected to a network. When you need to print to paper, you should select a proper printing queue name. You will find the following printing queue in the Windows Printers listing:
- UEF Secure Print
Printing via email
You can also print small documents from your computer or mobile device via email as follows: send an email with the file to be printed as attached, from your UEF email address to the following address: kmext-print@uef.fi. Do not add an email subject or any text to the email body/message, but only add the To: address as follows: kmext-print@uef.fi, and attach the file to be printed to the email message.
However, printing via email is not recommended for printing long lecture notes, books or scientific articles, due to a big file size and special characters present in the file. These types of files should be printed by opening them first at an Oppari/UEF computer and printing them to the correct printing queue, being UEF Secure Print.
Fast printer login
Only you yourself have access to your own printing queue. Therefore, you need to login to a printer using the short version of your UEF username, meaning your username without the @uef.fi suffix.
UEF shared printers are equipped with RFID chip scanners that streamline the logging-in process. You can associate your UEF username and password with a student card, debit/credit card or any other card, electronic key that has an RFID chip. Associating a card with a printer does not harm the card in any way. You can create such an association by first scanning your card/electronic key with a printer’s RFID scanner, before entering your UEF username and password to the printer’s login screen. If your login attempt is successful, the association is completed and henceforth you can log in just by scanning your associated card/electronic key/mobile device at a RFID scanner.
