le stampe da una stampante di vostra scelta) sono contrassegnati con il segno .

Printing using the email (EmailPrint)

The ‘EmailPrint’ function allows the user to print a document by attaching it to an email

addressed to [email protected]

Proceed as follows:

Set an email and attach the document(s) you need to print to it.

Send the email to [email protected]. myPrint will release the print job to a multifunction printer.

Login to any Ricoh multifunction printer and collect the print.

Notes

The file will be printed according to the print settings configured on the user’s myPrint profile.

You can recognise the email on the multifunction device by the word “Email” followed by the subject of the email.

It is possible to recognise the attachments by the names that displayed on the multifunction screen.

If you do not want to print the body of the email, you can delete it from the multifunction, as the attachments are saved as independent print jobs and can be printed singularly.

Do not exceed the maximum email size set by the email provider when using large-size attachments.

In some cases, according to the settings of the print environment in which myPrint is installed,

email printing is off by default. Only files attached will be printed.

The loaded files will have to be printed within 72 hours. After this period expires, print jobs will be

deleted.

Printing using the printer driver (Virtual printer)

With myPrint, you can print from any application of a Windows© PC. However, this requires the

installation of ‘myPrint’ printer driver.

PLEASE NOTES:

There is no driver available for MAC and LINUX OS

The printer works only in combination with Internet Explorer (any version).

Internet Explorer security level cannot be over Medium. (Internet options > Security >

Security Level > Medium).

It is necessary to set https://myprint.unimi.it as a reliable website in Internet Explorer

security settings and in the local intranet. (Internet options > Security > Local Intranet >

Sites > Advanced > add https://myprint.unimi.it).

In order to add the printer driver, you need to have administrator privileges for your own

Windows account on a Windows© system.

Installing the printer through “Printer Installation”


Click on the “Printer installation” button.

Windows will ask to confirm whether you want to add a web link to the printer:

Click “Yes”.

After a short waiting time, myPrint will confirm the installation of the printer.

Do not forget to activate your ID myPrint. This procedure will be explained in the next chapter.

Suggestion: If you have problems installing the printer, read the notes in the following page

Notes

If you install a myPrint printer on a Windows 8 © OS, you need to execute Internet Explorer in 'desktop' mode, not from Windows© start screen (UI mode).

You can set Internet Explorer in 'desktop’ mode from Internet Explorer Home page. Right click on the key symbol at the bottom of the screen. Select 'Mostra nel desktop'.

If you install the printer using Internet Explorer 11, it is necessary to execute Internet Explorer 11 in compatibility view settings, otherwise it will not be installed. You can set Internet Explorer in compatibility view settings by selecting the ‘Strumenti’ (Tools) icon on the upper right corner of the screen (or by pressing Alt + x) and selecting compatibility view settings. Then add the site myprint.unimi.it to the list by pressing Add.

If you install a myPrint printer on a Windows©XP OS, it might be necessary to install an Internet Explorer plug-in (OLEprn.Dll) before completing the procedure.

A yellow bar will appear on the top of the browser screen to remind you to complete this operation. Right click on it to allow the installation of the plug-in. You will not be able to complete the printer installation unless this operation is done.

You can install the printer on any personal computer and print directly from your device. It is recommended not to install the printer on a public computer because it might be used improperly.

Prints can be collected on any Ricoh multifunction device only after having logged in by placing the card on the reader. This prevents the unauthorised usage of the printer and the documents. If you suspect someone is abusing your account, you can ask a new ID myPrint on myPrint website.
