Make the Most of Your Library: PrinterOn Remote Printing |
|
Did you know you can use our PrinterOn remote printing service to send documents from your home PC, and have them printed out at your library? Here's how it works:
- First, install the PrinterOn app for your device, or go to PrinterOn.com and click on "Where Can I Print?" in the top right corner of the screen.
- Enter your country, state, and city to see what printing locations are available.
- Click or tap to select where you want to send your print job.
- Enter an email address so the library can identify which print job is yours when you come to pick it up.
- Browse your device to find the file you want to print, and select it.
That's it! Now just go to your library, provide your email address and print out your document (regular printing charges will apply). No more flash drives or emailing documents to yourself. You don't even need to get on a library computer.
