- Click the Next button and the following dialog box will appear:
- Now, point your phone's camera at the QR code. It will scan pretty quickly and add a CMU account to the Authenticator app. You may be asked for Authenticator to send you notifications. You must allow this in order for your phone to use Authenticator. Tap Allow. Back on the computing device, click Next.
- Next, you'll get a verification prompt on your smartphone asking for a 2-digit number to be entered. This 2-digit code should now appear on your computing device. Below are screen shots of your phone and your computing device.

Below are the steps for doing this on Windows computers as well as the most 3 recent versions of macOS. Follow the steps below for your Windows or macOS computer to continue printing to your department copier.

Setting Copier Code in macOS Sonoma (v14.x), macOS Ventura (v13.x), macOS Monterey (v12.x)
Entering and saving copier codes on macOS involve creating a Preset, which is like a profile that contains the various print settings you want. You'll need to decide what settings are always going to be selected for a given job, even if that's just the printer code, and you'll save that Preset and then select it when you want to print to the copier.
