There are four main steps to setting up your printer and printing:

Enter your St. Mary's username and password (the same as you use to connect to SMIS-WIN):\\ {{ :byod:17_connect_to_printer.jpg?nolink |Enter username and password}}\\ If you check "Remember this password in my keychain", then you will not have to re-enter this information every time you print.
===== Retrieving your print job =====
After printing, log in at the printer to retrieve your print job.
- If the printer is sleeping, click the login/logout button to wake the printer.
- Tap on Username and enter your username (the same as above)
- Tap on Password and enter your password
- Tap on Log In
- If your log-in is successful, you should see your document name on the display. Tap on the document to select it, and then tap the Print button.
===== Troubleshooting =====
==== No network connection ====
Make sure you're connected to SMIS-WIN to print.
==== Wrong document size ====
**Your document appears on the printer's display, but does not print. A small red light is flashing at the corner of the display.**
Typically this means the page layout does not match any of the available paper sizes. You can choose to print US Letter to A4, or you can clear the print job and resend it from your computer (after changing the page layout to an available paper size).
==== Failed authorization ====
**In the printer queue window on your computer, you see a Resume button instead of Pause. If you click Resume, after a moment you briefly see the message "connection refused." The button changes back to Resume.**
This indicates you've entered the wrong username/password. Delete this print job (click on the X), and try printing again. Make sure to enter the correct username and password.
**Note:** If you checked "Remember this password in my keychain", but you entered the wrong password, you'll need to delete the saved password from your Keychain and try again.
