Introduction
Mobility Print delivers secure network print services for iOS, Windows, macOS, Android, and Chrome devices. Web printing is also available for University devices on the NEOMED network. Currently, Mobility Print utilizes follow-you printing, which enables you to print directly to a holding area, then go to any University printer, swipe your University badge (or login to the printer), and release your print job.
Utilizing Mobility Print with follow-you can be helpful:
- As a “secure print” feature if you are printing something requiring confidentiality;
- If you are printing on special paper – you can load the paper, then release the document; and/or
- If your copier/printer is down or in use – you can print and release somewhere else.
Please Note: Finishing options are limited to basic options such as # of copies, color/black-and-white, and single or double sided. Additionally, documents are only held in the print queue for 72 hours.
