How do I use a Cardinal Print device and start printing?

There are three ways to start printing:

• Download the universal Cardinal Print driver.
• Log in to the Cardinal Print Center to upload documents.
• Send your attachment(s) via email to cardinalprint@stanford.edu from your Stanford email address.

All three options allow you to retrieve your output from any Cardinal Print device on campus by scanning your university ID card or logging in with your SUNet ID and password.

Easy-to-follow instructions to print, copy, and scan are posted above each device on campus. You can learn more about how to use Cardinal Print devices with these simple instructions and videos. Visit Mobile Printing for complete instructions on how to print via email or by logging into Cardinal Print Center. For more specific questions about how to print, see the Print section of this FAQ page. For more specific questions about how to scan, fax or copy, see the Scan, Fax, or Copy section of this FAQ page.

Can I print and/or copy in color?

Yes, you can print and copy in color from any Cardinal Print device. Please be mindful that the printing defaults are set to black and white as well as double sided in order to save on toner and paper waste, so you’ll want to ensure you select color and/or single sided before printing if it’s necessary for your print job.

Do I need a printing card?

You do not need a printing card! Simply log into the device by badging in with your student ID, using Mobile Key on your phone, or logging in manually with your SUNet ID and password. 

How are students charged for printing?

Prints/copies will automatically be charged to your student account.

If I work for a university department, does the department cover the cost of printing and copying?

If your department has provided you with a printing allowance, you will have the choice at the printer to charge the cost to your student account or department. If you have not been given an allowance, your prints/copies will automatically be charged to your student account. Please contact your department administrator to inquire about a printing allowance.

I’ve received a free print quota from my department in the past. Can I still access free printing through my department?

Departments still have the ability to allocate funds that you can use when printing/copying for the department. Contact your department administrator for more information.
