Using Guest Print

Guest Print is a feature of Lexmark Cloud Services that allows users to print documents without requiring registration in the Lexmark Cloud Services. The guest composes an e-mail from virtually any e-mail client, attaches the document they want to print, and sends it to a predefined e-mail address.

An administrator or an organization’s representative provides the e-mail address that the guest can send their documents to. On sending the e-mail to the specified e-mail address, the guest receives a confirmation e-mail with a PIN.

After receiving the PIN through e-mail, the guest can proceed to the printer specified by the organization's representative, and perform the following steps:

Lexmark retains information related to the print job only but does not retain any e-mail-related information.

  1. From the printer control panel, touch PIN Login .

  2. Enter the PIN you have received in your e-mail, and then click OK .

  3. Touch Print Release.

    • The body of the e-mail is represented as an individual print job.
    • Each attachment is represented as an individual print job.
    • Without any e-mail attachment, body of the e-mail is printed.
