This article covers how to use the University printers.
Instructions
You can print from any computer on campus, or from your personal laptop, phone or tablet using our mobile print service.
Printers are conveniently located all over campus, usually in or near to study spaces where there are computers.
When you print, your document is sent to the printer and held in a secure queue for 8 hours. After then your document is automatically deleted from the queue unless you delete it before then.
Our printers use a feature called "follow me", which means you can collect your print from any printer on campus.
Tap your staff or student registration card on the card reader to log in to the printer.
