Mobile Printing

With Library Mobile Printing you can quickly and easily send documents from your computer or phone to the Library printers via email, a webpage, or the PrinterOn app.

Important information:     

  • You will need an email address and a computer, laptop, smartphone or device with an Internet connection to use our Library Mobile Printing service.
  • Supported file types: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, PDF, JPEG, TIFF and Fax. 
  • Maximum file size for each print job is 20 MB.
  • Once your print job is successfully sent to a Library printer, you will have 3 hours to go to the library you chose and use the print release station to print it. Your documents will only be available at the branch you sent them to.
  • Print jobs sent less than three hours before closing must be picked up before the library closes. Prints that have not been released or that are sent after hours will not be available the next day (unless the library opens within 3 hours after sending the print job).
  • Print cost per page is $.15 for black & white and $.50 for color. Cash only please.
  • Once you have sent your print job, you will not be able to change the number of pages or otherwise modify the print job at the Library print release station. Please use Print Preview so you know what you are sending to the printer.  There is a reprint function if you need to print exactly what you sent again that same day.

How to use email to send a print job to the Library printer

Jobs can be sent to the printer in the body of your email or as an attachment.  When you release your print job at the library, you will see the email as 1 print job and any attachments as separate print jobs.  You can choose to print just the attachments if there is no content in the email other than the attachment(s).
