BlazerPrint is MCLA's robust and secure copying, printing, scanning, and fax solution served through a series of high-end multifunction copiers located conveniently across campus. All MCLA’s copiers have the same tablet-like touchscreen experience. The BlazerPrint system has an intuitive design that is simple to use, resulting in fewer clicks to complete a job and less time spent when scanning, copying and printing. BlazerPrint is driven by a management system called PaperCut which allows for a customized end-user personal experience by connecting to OneDrive, email, and faxing. All BlazerPrint copiers have been equipped with embedded card reader technology allowing you to tap your MCLA ID card to authenticate to the device and it will know who you are so it can offer a customized experience on any copier on campus. With security and accessibility in mind, users simply print to the queue and then go to the most convenient multifunction device and release their print job.

==Personal Access Points==
 
−
 
 
−
Due to limited wireless spectrum on the 2.4GHz & 5 GHz frequencies used for Wi-Fi, dorm residents are not permitted to set up or use their own wireless networks.
 
−
The access points installed by MCLA communicate with each other through a central server so they actively avoid interfering with each other. When non-MCLA access points transmit they disrupt the ability of the MCLA access points to coordinate with each other and they degrade network performance for every user in the area.

−
==Personal Printers==
 
−
 
 
−
Most wireless-enabled printers create their own local wireless networks.  This behavior is often seen associated with AirPrint functionality. Use of these device has the same impact as installing a wireless access point and is prohibited.  If your printer creates its own wireless network, please disable it and use it with a USB cable.
 
−
MCLA does not support or troubleshoot connecting personal printers to the wired dorm network.

==Personal Cell Boosters==
 
−
 
 
−
Some cell carriers can provide devices that mimic the behavior of cell towers but use a wired network connection rather than the cell network to conduct calls.  Similar to other wireless items covered by this policy they are not designed to be used in dense living arrangement such as dormitories and are not to be connected to the dorm network.
