Before you start

About the networked printing service

Each library and open access computer suite has a

range of black & white (mono) and colour A3 and A4

print/copy/scan devices. You can send documents to be

printed on these devices from:

university computers in libraries and computer rooms

on campus

your own computer

your mobile phone or tablet (Apple or Android)

your email account

You don’t have to be on campus to send documents to

the printing service.

The two stages of printing:

1 Send (or upload) your document to the printer queue

2 Visit the printer, within 24 hours, and print any documents waiting in your queue

Don’t wait too long. Documents will wait in your print queue for 24 hours and then

they will be deleted from the queue.

Paying for printing

Before you can use the university’s printers you must add credit to your UniCard

account. See Paying for Printing on the Information Services website

(www.brighton.ac.uk/is then 'Printing'/'Info for students'/'paying for printing') to find

out more about adding credit to your UniCard Online Account.

Remember

mono (black & white) printing is cheaper than colour.

Double-sided printing is cheaper than single-sided printing
