Ensure your Duo Mobile app and device’s operating system are up-to-date to keep your two-factor authentication (2FA) effective. Regular updates are crucial for accessing the latest features, security, and maintenance improvements in Duo Mobile.

General Recommendations

• Update Duo Mobile Regularly: Make sure your device’s operating system is current to support the latest version of Duo Mobile, ensuring access to vital security updates and features.
• Check After OS Updates: If you update your device’s OS, verify that Duo Mobile has also updated. You might need to manually update the app if it doesn’t automatically.

Guidance for Older Operating Systems

• For Android Users: Starting Feb. 8, 2024, Android devices on OS 10 or below will not support new versions of Duo Mobile or receive updates. Upgrade to Android 11 or newer to continue using Duo Mobile without interruptions.

Alternatives for Incompatibility

• Switch Devices: If your device cannot be updated, consider using another device that supports the latest Duo Mobile version.
• Voice Call Authentication: You can enroll a phone number for authentication via voice calls.
• Temporary Bypass Codes: If you encounter issues with Duo Mobile, obtaining a temporary bypass code can provide secure access to systems for a limited time.

Additional Notes

• Continuous 2FA Protection: Duo Mobile will continue to offer 2FA protection on older OS versions after Feb. 8, 2024, though updates are recommended for the best security.
• SMS/Text Passcodes: Note that SMS/text passcodes are not supported; 2FA passcodes should be generated through the Duo Mobile app for security.

The following tutorial will guide you through the process of connecting a printer while on-campus. Faculty and Staff members should review the purchasing process before engaging with the process for connecting a printer.

Most new printers are plug and play compatible with Windows 10. When you receive your new printer, you can unbox it and remove any orange tape you see. After plugging in the power and turning the printer on, allow the printer to initialize (most new printers will have a display to show you it’s progress). When the printer finishes initializing, just connect the usb printer cable from the printer to your computer. Windows 10 should automatically install the printer for you.

All printer purchases for faculty and staff on-campus use must appear on OIRT’s list of approved printer models. For the most up to date list of approved printer models, please contact the Purchasing Department. The purchase of any printer not on the list must be pre-approved by the CIO.

Determining if a Printer will be Directly Connected or On-Network

Faculty and Staff Members have the option of either making a direct or network connection to the printer. A direct connection is when a printer is connected to a single computer and an on-network printer means that multiple parties can print to it. Generally speaking, unless a printer is shared by three or more employees, users should request a direct connect printer.

If you are planning to use a direct connection, simply purchase any printer contained on the Purchasing Department’s list of approved models and follow the instructions for “Installing a Local Printer” in the “Connecting a Printer for Faculty and Staff Members” section below.

If your new printer will be on-network, please ask your department to contact the Fairleigh Dickinson University Technical Assistance Center (UTAC) for USAN to investigate the viability of any data jacks in the vicinity of where the printer will be located. The full workflow for this process is shown in the following diagram.
