Step 1: Open the web application

When you open the remote printing application you will see this screen where you will upload your files for printing.

Step 1 is uploading the file you want to print using the "Click here to select and upload a file..." button

Step 2: Select your file from your device

To use the remote printing service you must have the file downloaded to your device.  After you click the "Click here to select and upload a file..." button you will have to navigate to and select the file with your phone's interface. It may appear differently from what is pictured here. Library staff can help with this step.

After your upload

After you have selected your file for upload and it has been processed you have the option to select and upload a multiple files by repeating Step 2.

Step 3 of the process is to click the gear icon beside the file name and choose the setting you need.

Step 3: Choosing the printer settings

• By default all print jobs in black & white but you may select color if needed.
• If you need multiple copies enter the number that you need on this screen
• If you only need part of the document you can set the page range here
• You may also select if you want to print on both sides of the paper. Choosing this option will not reduce the number of pages being printed

Once you have made your selections you have three options.  

• If you have chosen the wrong file you may remove it with the "REMOVE" button
• You may view a preview of your print job with the "PREVIEW" button.  This is helpful to make sure you have selected the appropriated page range if you are not printing the whole document.
• If you are finished customizing the setting for the file you choose the "ACCEPT" button.

Step 4: Accept the terms and conditions

Once you have adjusted the settings for your print job(s) you must click the checkbox to accept the terms and conditions of the service and select the "CONTINUE" button.

Step 5:Select the payment method

At present you may only select the "Pay at the desk" option.

Step 6: Identify your print job for pickup at the library

You must input a way for staff to identify your print job when you come to the checkout desk to pick it up. The application suggests using your first name or a pseudonym.  You may want to use your email or phone number to make the this unique.  Remember whatever you choose to enter here so you will be able to claim your printing. 

After you have entered this select the "Order print" button to finalize the print job.

Print jobs are held for 24 hours before they are automatically deleted.
