How to Print

1. First, send your print job to the printer (either use the print button on the browser or follow the instructions for printing in the database you are using.)
2. Then go to the print release station (located in the Trowbridge Reference Room, to the left of the reference desk, near the elevator) and login using your NetID and password.
3. A list of print jobs will appear. Click on your print job to highlight it and then click the Print button to release it to print. It should print out in the tray below.
4. Be sure to click on the logoff button of the print release station when you are finished. Otherwise, other library users may use your print account to pay for their print jobs.

If there is none there, please ask at the Reference Office, or downstairs at the Circulation Desk for more paper. Paper may be added by pushing the button in on the paper tray to open it.
