How to print, copy and scan
Printers in the Library can each print, copy, and scan in colour or black and white, and to A4 or A3 size. Anything sent to print will be held in a secure queue for 24 hours before being deleted from the queue. Charges for printing will only be taken when your job prints. After you have sent your job to print, to collect:
- tap in to the printer by placing your student card on the card reader
- press Secure Print
- check size, colour, number of copies etc before printing. You can also delete any jobs you no longer need
- select the job(s) you wish to print
- select Print and Delete - this will print your jobs, then delete them from your queue
- there is an inbuilt stapler under the card reader
- remember to log out after you're finished
Currently, printers can be found on floors 1 and 2 of the Library.
Alternatively, if you are using your own device, you can print to campus printers by emailing your document as an attachment to mobileprint@abertay.ac.uk. This will be stored securely in your print queue for 24 hours.
Print balance
You can view your print balance by tapping your student card on one of the printers in the library.
