When I swipe my card, I get the message "Invalid card, please try again"

Only the most recent, activated card issued by the Card Office is supported. If you are unsure of the status of your card, you should contact your local card representative. They will be able to check you are using the right card by checking the version number on the back of the card against their records. You will not be able to use temporary or access-only cards to release your print jobs.
