Printing in FIRGA
FIRGA currently uses the Secure Print system. Printing Money must be available to use this system. No Printing Money are given to you. The Sun Student page is used to load the Printing Money.
Send your print job to the Default Printer (STB_PRINT_Q01 on stbsc04.stb.sun.ac.za). To retrieve your printing go to ANY Safecom Enabled device on campus (look out for the SafeCom stickers) and touch your student card at the device. This will AUTOMATICALLY start the printing process of all your documents.
Please Note that by default all printing will be in Greyscale and in Duplex mode. You need to change the Advanced Printing Properties to utilize any of the other features.
If you want to manage your print jobs before having them printed (for example delete jobs you have submitted) visit https://stbprint.sun.ac.za/safecom/
