Tips for Printing
Before you send any print request, use the print preview option in Princh or on your device. Check the number of pages.
You can print up to $1.50 each week for free with your library card's weekly print allowance. That gives you up to 10 black and white or 3 color pages each week.
You have the option to pay for more prints.
If you're not at a library, make sure that the location you're sending the print request to is open for visits.
The printer code is the same for all of the printers at your library.
The printer email address is unique to the black and white or color printer at your library.
Double-sided printing is not available in Princh. (The option to choose a paper size other than letter will be grayed out in the print settings menu.)
