Always make sure you have enough credit for the entire document to print. If you release your work without enough credit the job will not print but remain stored for 1 hour until you have enough credit to release again.
How you print your work varies slightly depending on where you are printing from. Follow our guidelines to ensure the perfect outcome every time.
Desktop computers in the libraries and PC rooms
Send your work to a printer
Click File > Print from the program you are using, e.g. Word
Select the printer you require from the dropdown menu – you should have the options of Print_Green on PCUT-STU-L-APP1.hallam.shu.ac.uk, Black_and_White on PCUT-STU-L-APP1.hallam.shu.ac.uk or Colour on PCUT-STU-L-APP1.hallam.shu.ac.uk
Check the rest of your settings, e.g. number of copies and double or single sided printing (If you have been told to hand in your assignment single sided, you will need to make sure you change the settings to 'Print One Sided'.)
Click Print
