During a Transact outage while it is being upgraded, Card swipe lo in to the copier and the link to Personal printing/copying funds will not work. That is why users will need to temporarily change their printing process during the outage.
Instructions
Alternative log-in options
Option 1 requires going to a website first to get their ID PIN code, but will result in faster logins for those who print often. Option 2 will take longer to enter the user ID and password at the device but may work well for someone who doesn't print much.
Option 1: Support ID Number Authentication
- Log into https://print.maine.edu and select “Change Details” in the left menu
- Select the “Generate number” button if you wish to create a new random PIN.
- Note the 5-digit number generated, this number will be used in step 5 below for log-in
- At the Xerox device, click the "Keyboard" icon on the Xerox Touch Panel
- The user enters the above PIN number generated in or noted above
The user is authenticated on the device providing the same user experience. "Welcome, <user's name>!" will show in the upper left of the display panel once successfully authenticated.
Option 2: Users' log in to the Xerox Panel with @maine.edu Username and Password
Click the "Keyboard" icon on the Xerox Touch Panel
User can enter @maine.edu Username with or without @maine.edu
@maine.edu password is entered and masked
The user is authenticated on the device providing the same user experience. "Welcome, <user's name>!" will show in the upper left of the display panel once successfully authenticated.
