Printing from student machines

Printing to the laser printers in the computer rooms is via a system called Equitrac, which sends your print job to a queue and you are then able to print your work directly from the card reader next to the printer.

How much will it cost?

  • A4 Monochrome (black and white) print = 5p
  • A3 Monochrome (black and white) print = 10p
  • A4 colour print = 25p
  • A3 colour print = 50p
    Note: this size is currently only available in the Library

  • From the window displayed, click on the drop down menu at the top and select the printer you wish to use e.g. BlackWhite Laser All Rooms
