Printing and scanning
Printing and scanning
We offer comprehensive print, copy and scan services to UEL staff and students. This includes black and white and colour printing using a range of Canon Multi-Functional Device (MFD) printer and scanners. Users can print from any UEL-connected PC and release the print job on any Canon MFD on any campus (i.e. send to print in Docklands Library, release and pick it up at Stratford Library). Jobs are released securely using your unique student ID.
Please note that you will need to sign in to access the links below.
Before you can print
- You will need to register your UEL ID card on a printer. You should receive an email with a registration code. Instructions will be displayed on the printer the first time you tap your card. Full guidance can be found at How to register on our new UEL printers.
- Students can top up funds on UEL's UniFLOW portal.
Sending documents to print
There are several ways to send documents to a UEL printer:
- To print from an application on your PC or Mac, select ‘SecurePrint’ from the printer list. Please note that this will default to black and white but, if required, colour can be selected from ‘Printer Properties’ in the document, or at the printer itself.
- To print from UniFLOW Online, visit UEL's UniFLOW portal and select ‘Start Printing’ from the menu. Drag or upload files to add to your print queue.
- Use the UniFLOW Online Print and Scan mobile app and select files from your device for printing.
- From your UEL account, email a file to mobileprint@uel.uk.uniflowonline.com. The attachment will be added to your print queue.
Retrieving your prints
To print items in your queue, go to any printer on campus and tap your card. Tap Secure Print to display your print queue and select items for print.
