How to Login to an SCU (Equitrac) Printer

There are two different methods for logging onto a campus printer.

Method 1:

Swiping your staff or student card.

All Equitrac printers are equipped with a card reader; they are usually quite visible and look like the ones to the side of many doors around campus.

If you get a “login failed” message you need to either:
• Apply for a new student card as per these instructions: How to get your student ID card
• Visit a Technology Services Service Desk as we can update your card manually

Login using the "keyboard" on the printer screen

Step 1: If the screen is blank, press the Energy Saver button

Step 2: Swipe your card past the card reader

Step 3: You will see a login fail error message. Press the log in / out button

Step 4: Using the printer keypad to type in the following:

For students type: student\username

eg. student\egreai12

If you are unsure what your username is, please refer to this article: How do I find my SCU username and SCU email address?

For staff please type: staff\username

eg. staff\gthomath

Step 5: Press Next to confirm your entry & move to the next screen

Step 6: Type in your SCU password

Step 7: You should now be logged in and see menu items.

Step 8: To finalize, swipe your card past the card reader and you should be automatically logged in.
