Print, Copy and Scan With uniFLOW

Log in at an AU Printer

To print, copy or scan, log in at the printer using either of these options:

  • Swipe your AU ID card at the card reader.
  • Tap the PIN Code icon, enter your uniFLOW PIN and tap Log In. You only need to enter your PIN if you do not use your AU ID card.

Create a uniFLOW PIN

Creating a uniFlow PIN is optional.

  1. Go to the uniFLOW Online portal and log in with your AU account.

  2. Find Identities on your personal dashboard and click the New Identity button.

  3. Select the the Identity Type dropdown menu to change it to PIN and then click the Save button. A PIN will be automatically generated.

  4. Click the three horizontal dots next to the PIN identity and select Show PIN code from the dropdown menu.
  5. Keep your PIN private. You can use it to log in at any AU printer.

Printing With uniFLOW

How you send a document to your print queue depends on whether you are using an AU computer or a personal device. After sending it, the steps for releasing the document at an AU printer are the same.

From an AU Computer

  1. Open the file you want to print.
  2. Select Print in the application and send the file to the AU printer as you normally would. The file will be added to your uniFLOW print queue.

The first time you log in to an AU shared computer, a pop-up will remind you to use your AU ID card or PIN to release print jobs. This notice appears only once across all AU shared computers.

From a Personal Device

  1. Log in to your AU account and create a new email in Outlook.
  2. In the To field, begin typing uniFLOW and select uniFLOW Email Print from the dropdown menu. The email address will populate as mobileprint@aurorauniversity.us.uniflowonline.com.
  3. Attach the file or files you want to print and send the email.
