Staff who have Windows PCs issued to them by MCLA will automatically have 'BlazerPrint' appear in their list of printers to print to. Select it in your list of available printers and print to it. Your print job will be held in the BlazerPrint virtual printer queue where you can release it on any BlazerPrint copier on campus.  
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. This customization solves the problem of finding the right printer. With security and accessibility in mind, users simply print to a single, global, virtual, queue, then go to the most convenient multifunction device and release their print.
