Logging in to the multifunction printer and printer options
Logging out from the multifunction device
Printing from the University’s Windows workstation
Scanning to home folder (Scanjobs)
You log in to the multifunction printer with your JYU username and password.
Logging in can be sped up by connecting a copy key or JYU staff or student card to the device. Other cards (e.g., bus or library cards) can also be registered as copy cards. To register the card to the multifunction printer, show the card or key to the light blue reader on the front of the device. The device will indicate the card is unregistered and ask for your JYU network username + password combination.
A registered card or key is used without a PIN code, so it should be kept safe. If your copy key is lost or damaged, submit a support request via the HelpJYU service: https://help.jyu.fi/jp
You can log out from the multifunction printer in three different ways:
Method 1: Press the ID button on the keyboard on the right side of the screen.
Method 2: Press the "Log Out" button in the lower right corner of the Main Menu screen and you are logged out. The Main Menu can be found by pressing the "house" icon in the upper left corner of the console.
The multifuction printer logs your credentials out automatically if the device is unused for 9 minutes.
Log in. Press the icon of talking heads in the upper right corner of the screen. Select your preferred language from the screen and confirm with the OK button. The selection remains even after logging out.
After logging in, the main menu opens, where the most important functions are found: Copy (all copy functions), Scan and Send (scan to Scanjobs folder or email), Scan and Save (to USB stick), and Secure Print (release print jobs).
You can return to the main menu by pressing the Home button in the upper left. Missing functions can be accessed via the All Options menu (upper right corner).
Students receive a printing balance from the university of €5 per academic year.
You can check your own printing balance on the Canon multifunction printer. When logging in, your balance is visible behind the Secure Print option.
Please note that purchased or university-provided printing balance cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred to another account. Purchased balance also cannot be refunded.
Multifuction printers will be updated to the new ones in the summer of 2026, sales of remaining printing balance have been stopped for the time being. If your current printing balance runs out, you can get more printing balance from the digital services desk. Please contact digital services from printing balance issues: Help Desk (Lähde Library, 3rd floor) or call 029 441 8030 (Mon-Fri 9-15). The Help Desk is open on weekdays, Mon-Fri, from 10-14.

Canon multifunction devices available for students (status 04/2026):
It is important to note that when printing to Canon devices, the print queue/driver should be selected as jysecure. If the required jysecure printer driver is missing from the computer (i.e., the printer does not appear in the printer list, e.g., in Word), you can set it as follows:
Press Windows flag + R.
In the window that opens, type \\jy-print
From the list that opens, double-click the "jysecure" printer. Printing will then succeed when you restart the program you want to print from.

Login issues on multifunction printers are often caused by uppercase letters and special characters in passwords. Note that the Shift, Alt, and Alt Gr keys do not automatically reset; they need to be pressed again after use. You can also use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard for numbers. You can log in and make selections in the system without a printing balance or print rights, but the print job will not complete without a valid printing balance or the department’s copy and print rights.
The printing balance should not go negative. If a user notices this situation, we ask that you contact us via the HelpJYU service (https://help.jyu.fi/jp). The reason for this error may be in rights settings if the student has been temporarily on the department’s lists and received copy and print rights from there. The student status may not have been restored correctly, so the account check is advisable.
Make sure you have enough printing balance. You can check your printing balance in two ways: either by logging in to the multifunction printer and checking the printing balance behind the Secure Print option, or by going to our web service from a workstation with your user login: http://uniflow.ad.jyu.fi/pwclient/
If the computer says to add more paper, even though there is paper, it is likely that the document is in the wrong size. The PDF printing problem is solved by removing the check from Acrobat’s print window: Choose paper source by PDF page size.
