How do I scan using a Follow-Me Printer?

Please note that if you have a new card from 2023 or newer, you cannot scan your card at the printer to access your printer jobs. Tap on "touch here to begin" and enter your proxy card number. The proxy card number is the 5 digits after the "+" on the back of your BUID. 

Scanning using the Follow-me printers 

1. Locate a follow-me printer

2. If you have multiple pages or scanning front and back, place those pages in the top feeder (image 1). Otherwise, place the document on the flatbed (image 2).
