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.

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.
