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.
