Printing

There is one colour MFD and two black-and- white printers available to College Members in the Study Centre, and one colour MFD in the main building outside Bursary on the ground floor.

Printing and copying are charged to your College bill at 5p per side for black and white and 20p for colour. To encourage paper saving, there is a 2p discount for double-sided printing.

You can print pdfs from your own computers. If you’d like to print in another format, you can log into one of the college computers to do so.

Please follow the instructions below on printing from your computer or a college computer, and photocopying and scanning.

Please note: You can only print pdfs from your computers. In Microsoft Word, you can export your document to a pdf.

If you want to print in another format, please see the separate instructions on how to print from a College computer.

Press Print if you want to continue.
You can also cancel the print at this point.

These printing jobs will have been sent to the large colour printer.
Touch the screen to ‘wake’ it up.
The screen will now instruct you to scan your University Card.
This is done by holding your card over the label found below the screen.
You will hear a beep when your card has been scanned.
Your print job/s will now appear on the screen.
Click the box next to the job that you’d like to print.
If you’d like to print in greyscale or print 2-sided, you can do so by clicking the boxes at the bottom of the screen.
