Print from your own device
You can print from your own device to library printers using a web browser or email. This means you can send documents to be printed at the library when you’re at home or work, and collect them from our printers later with the retrieval code the PrintMe system sends you.
Jobs are stored securely and kept up for up to 24 hours before they’re deleted from the system. The system doesn’t charge you to submit documents, only at the point you choose to print them. You can pay with credit or debit cards (including contactless). See below for how to print via email and the PrintMe website.
Print via email
Email documents as attachments to print@printme.com. You can attach multiple documents to a message, in varying formats.
Go to the controller screen on a library printer and choose ‘Print’, then click ‘PrintMe’. Insert or swipe your credit or debit card into the reader.
You’ll be sent a retrieval code to your email address. You can either scan the barcode in the message or type in the code on screen.
Select the document you want to print. Select paper and colour options then check the cost on screen of the printing before printing.
Print via the PrintMe website
Go to https://printme.com click ‘Get started’ then follow the on-screen instructions for upload. Enter your email address. Once uploaded you’ll see your retrieval code on screen; it will also be sent to your email address.
Go to the controller screen on one of the library printers and choose ‘Print’, then click ‘PrintMe’. Insert or swipe your credit or debit card into the reader.
If you noted your retrieval code from the upload screen, type it to the printer controller. The code will have also been emailed to you, and you can use the barcode from the message to access your documents or type in the code from the email manually.
Select the document you want to print. Select paper and colour options then check the cost on screen of the printing before printing.
