How to manage and access your print account

How to choose print settings, collect printing and log out 

Choose print settings

Select Printer Properties to adjust print settings such as colour, single or double-sided printing, combining multiple pages onto a single sheet of paper, or changing the paper size.

Default print settings are:

  • A4 paper
  • double-sided
  • black and white.

Colour settings

  1. Click Select Color, then Auto Color.
  2. Click OK.

Single or double-sided (duplex)

  1. Click on More settings.
  2. Scroll down to Two-sided, and check Print on both sides.
  3. Drop down Flip on long edge to change your duplex setting.

Multiple printed pages per sheet of paper

  1. Scroll to Pages per sheet.
  2. Drop down and choose your desired pages per sheet.

You will be charged based on how many sheets of paper are printed. This means it is cost effective to print multiple pages per sheet of paper, provided the smaller page size works for you.

Paper size

  1. Click the Paper Size button.
  2. Select another size, e.g. A3.

Collect your printing

The jobs will remain in your printing account for 2 hours before expiring. You are not required to delete jobs you don't want to print.

  2. Press the Print Release button on the printer menu.
  3. Select the print jobs you wish to print.
  4. Press the round Start button below the touchscreen.

The printer may take up to a few minutes to print your job. You can confirm the printer is functioning properly by checking the front panel where you swipe your ID card. 

Flash blue and/or white lights indicate that the machine is processing the file and will start printing soon, even if there is a delay.
