PaperCut Print: Using Xerox Printer/Copier/Scanners (MFD)

Summary

A Xerox Multi-Function Printer/Copier/Scanner is a single machine that can print, copy, and scan documents. This article has detailed instructions on using the features of a Xerox Multi-Function Printer/Copier/Scanner.

For instructions on how to set up your ID card at Xerox printer/copiers, see our article on Setting up ID Card for Xerox Multi-Function (MFD) Printer/Copiers.

DO NOT punch a hole in your RFID capable ID card. This will disable the ability to use the card for tap access. Instead use a badge holder if you want to hang the card on a lanyard or retractable key chain.
