Step 1: Add printing credit to your account (in-person or online)

In-person by using the cash machines at the following locations:

The machine accepts $1, $2 coins and $5, $10 and $20 bills but does not give change. The library front desk can break larger bills.

  • SFU students: log in using your computing ID username that you use for goSFU, Canvas, etc. (not your student number or email address).

Step 2: Log onto a computer using the same credentials from Step 1

  • Guest patrons only have access to library computers.

 

Step 3: Open your document and print to black and white or colour

  • Lab Mono: Prints black and white ($0.11 per side)
  • Lab Color: Prints colour ($0.25 per side)

 

Step 4: Log onto the computer beside the printer and release your document
