  • Many tablet apps (such as Dropbox, for example) will let you send (on an iOS devices) or share (on an Android device) content with the PrinterOn app.
  • The PrinterOn app allows you to select a photo from your device, or specify a Web site. 
    Please note: We do not have photo print quality paper for our printers, and do not allow other paper to be inserted in our printers.
  • If you want to print what you are seeing on your tablet screen, use your device’s capability of storing a “screen capture.” On Apple iOS products, press the Home button and On/Off button at the same time. An image of the display will now be in your Photos, and you can select it from within the PrinterOn app.

From the PrinterOn App:

We recommend that you use the computers in the library to print Web Sites, rather than the PrinterOn app.
This printing service can print over 100 types of file formats, including Word, Powerpoint, Excel, PDF, JPG, TIFF, and more. Complete list available at the PrinterOn site.

If you want to print a web page:

We recommend you make use one of the computers at the library for this function, as you will then be able to preview the formatting of the printout before sending your job to the printer.
It is possible to use the PrinterOn Portal Page or the PrinterOn app to submit a web page (URL) for printing, however we have found that the layout of the printed page is often unsatisfactory and you will not be able to preview the format of the printed page before paying for the print job.

If you want to print a boarding pass:

IF YOUR BOARDING PASS IS CONTAINED IN AN EMAIL MESSAGE:

Print the message as described above in “If you want to print an email”.

IF YOUR BOARDING PASS IS IN A PDF FILE:
