Tutorial: Registering an Access Card or Fob

If you have a college-issued card or fob for access control purposes, you can also register it with PaperCut to log in to the Canon Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) instead of entering your ID number every time.

  • NOTE: We are currently working on identifying options for users who do not already have an assigned card or fob, and will communicate more information when it becomes available.

Step 1

To register your card or fob, tap it on the card reader on the device (it may look like the example below, depending on the device model).

Step 2

The device might make a sound when it reads the card/fob, and you will see a message on the screen indicating that it is an unknown card. To associate the card/fob with your account, enter your myHighline username and password and click ‘Log In.’

After successfully logging in, your card/fob will be connected to your PaperCut account and you can just tap it to the device’s reader to access PaperCut devices in the future.

It prompts you to sign in with your highline credentials in order to associate that card/fob with your PaperCut account.
