The College printing system now allows staff and students to print from their BYOD Apple IOS devices (iPhone & iPad).  The process makes use of the standard built in Apple AirPrint technology, and if you’ve used Apple AirPrint at home the process is almost identical.  Any feature of IOS, or any App that supports AirPrint, can be used with the College print system.

All printing done via Apple AirPrint is logged, audited and charged in the same way as if your were printing from a normal College computer.  You must be connected to the NORTON – BYOD Wi-Fi network to allow your Apple IOS device to see the College print system.

Step 1
In the help guide I am going to send the BBC website homepage to print system.

Step 2
Tap on the SEND TO button to open the options menu.  locate the PRINT option and tap on it.

Step 3
The print menu will appear.  If you have never printed from your IOS device before, the PRINTER menu line will say SELECT PRINTER.  Tap this.

Step 4
When printing, there are two offered printers, COLOUR MOBILE PRINT and BLACK AND WHILE MOBILE PRINT.  Choose which printer you wish to use depending on your needs.

Step 5
This is the only step than may differ from the way AirPrint might work and home, and how it works in College.  If you have never used the selected printer, you’ll be prompted for a username and password.  Enter your normal College network username and password and tap OK.  This is how the College print system knows whose FollowYou print queue to route the job to.

Step 6
Finally tap the PRINT button and your print job will be sent to the College print system.
