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.

mono (black & white) printing is cheaper than colour.
Double-sided printing is cheaper than single-sided printing
