How to print using the app on your mobile device or tablet:
- Go to the app store on your device and search for “PrinterOn” – the app is available through both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Select the appropriate result. Tap “Get” or “Install”. Once the app has finished installing, tap “Open”.
- Once the app has opened, you will see a bar at the bottom of the screen indicating “No Printer Selected”. Tap on this bar to bring you to the “Select Printer” screen. Along the bottom of the screen, there are multiple options for finding available printers, but the fastest way to find the library’s printer is to tap on the search icon (magnifying glass) in the lower right hand corner. Enter your city’s name in the search bar. Look for your library, the name will start with CIN. You should see two options, one for black and white printing and one for color. Choose the option that works best for what you are printing and you will be taken back to the previous screen, but instead of “No Printer Selected” at the bottom, the bar should now reflect your chosen printer. If you ever need to change the printer, just tap the bar again and repeat the process to select a different printer.
- Now that you have a printer selected, tap on one of the options at the top of the page to find what you would like to print. Browse your device or the Internet (if you chose Web) to find what you need and select it. You will then be sent to a page that provides you a print preview. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a red “Cancel” button and green “Print” button. Tap the green button to proceed with the printing.
- One you tap “Print”, the final step on the app will be to give your email address. Once you have entered your address, tap the check mark in the upper right corner and your print job will be sent to the library’s printer. You will have two hours to pick your prints up, and you will be charged $0.10/page for black and white printing, $0.25/page for color printing.
