Printing for the public
Printing services are available on all campuses, and can be used to print A4 and A3 documents in colour or in black and white.
You can self-service print any of your own documents at guest PCs from a USB stick. You can not access your email or other online content from the guest PCs.
Self-service printing is paid for automatically using prepaid credit on your print account, which is linked to your guest card and your guest username and password.

- Your print account balance will be displayed, choose 'Next'.
- Press 'Print Release' and your pending jobs will be displayed.
- Select one or more pending jobs from the list, then click 'Print'. If you want to print all pending jobs, click 'Print All'.
