Answer

The following explains how to use the University's PrintOnline service to print from your laptop to University printers.

1) Use your University user Id and password to log into PrintOnline.

2) To upload your document, click 'Choose File', select your document and click 'Next'. Your document will appear in the print list below. After a couple of seconds, the document status will change from 'Awaiting processing' to 'Awaiting release'.

3) Manage the print settings by clicking the 'Advanced' option box next to the printer of choice “Black and White” or “Colour”. You will now be able to specify limited print settings when the document status is 'Awaiting release'. Please note, you will not be able to print custom settings via PrintOnline (e.g. multiple slides or pages per sheet or using the staple option); this can only be currently done by logging in to a desktop PC available on the University campus.

4) Send your document to print by clicking on either B&W or Colour. Your document should now be ready to release from one of the printers (you can print out your work at printers in both library buildings or any publicly accessible printer on campus). Ensure you have sufficient credit to print your job then, at the printer, tap your campus card on the contactless symbol or log in with your user ID and password. Press 'Print All' or to select individual documents to print press 'Print release'. Remember to press 'Log Out' once you have finished.

5) Your document will be stored on the University print system for 24 hours before automatically being deleted.
