Every BlazerPrint copier is equipped with an RFID reader that is compatible with your MCLA Photo ID. Users can login to the copier using their MCLA Photo ID to unlock the ability to release their print jobs from the BlazerPrint virtual print queue as well as use scanning, copy and fax features. Users must 'register' their MCLA Photo ID with the BlazerPrint system. '''This only needs to be done once to associate the card with your MCLA account for authentication purposes'''. Here are the steps on how to register your card.

For various reasons pertaining to security, certain services within the MCLA network are protected from direct access to the Internet.  Access to these resources from other networks requires special software to provide a secure “tunnel” from your computer.  MCLA employs an SSL VPN to provide this function and this document explains how to access, install and use this tool for Windows based machines.
