Linking your u:card or access card with your u:account

Before logging in for the first time on a u:print staff device, you can link your u:card for employees/access card with your personal u:account. Afterwards, you can log in on any u:print staff device without entering your u:account user data manually.

Further information about the u:card for employees is available on the u:card website.


To link your u:card for employees or access card with your u:account, take the following steps:

  1. Put your u:card for employees or your access card on the card reader of the u:print staff device (for about 2 seconds) until you hear a short beep.
    Touch screen display: Trying to Login. Please wait a moment.
  2. The u:card for employees or access card is recognised.
    Touch screen display: Your ID Card is unknown. Please log in with your user name and password to register your ID Card.
  3. Enter your u:account UserID and your u:account password in the relevant fields.
  4. Press Login.
  5. Your u:card for employees or access card and your u:account are now linked when logging in on the u:print staff device.
  6. To log in on a u:print staff device, you can now just put your u:card for employees or access card on the card reader.

Alternatively, you can always log in by typing your u:account UserID and u:account password manually on the u:print device.
