  2. Entering and Saving Your Department ID

    1. Open a web browser.
    2. Click on “File” in the upper left of your screen, then select “Print…”
    3. If your web browser has a unique Print screen (for example Chrome has this) make sure to also click on “Print using system dialog”.
    4. Click on “Show Details”, and on the drop down menu labeled “Layout”, click on that and instead choose “Authenticate and Print”
    5. Enter your Department ID in the Department ID space, leave PIN Number blank. Your ID is the same as your Account Number on Billing Statements, but you can also check with the front desk staff if you don’t know your ID.
    6. In the Presets drop down menu at the top of this window, select “Save Current Settings as Preset”, change the Preset Name to Cruzioworks, and specify “Only This Printer”.
    7. Click “Okay”, then click “Print” to fully commit changes to the Preset. You should only have to complete this process once and if done correctly your computer shouldn’t prompt you for your ID again, provided Cruzioworks is the active preset when printing documents.
