We have many printers available throughout the study spaces in the Library, which by default, allows you to print out on A4/A3 white paper. However, there may be a need for you to print on a different type of paper. You can do this easily by using the 'Bypass Tray' on the side of the printer and by changing a few print options before you send the job to print.
Below are some step-by-step instructions for if you want to print out on non-standard paper in the library
- When ready to print your document, from the ‘Print’ Screen, ensure that ‘Follow You Student’ is set as the printer, then select ‘Printer Properties’.
- On the next screen, ensure that the ‘Input Tray’ is set to ‘Bypass Tray’
- Click ‘OK’, and then ‘Print’.
- The document will be sent to the printer.
- At the printer, before printing, release the ‘Bypass Tray’ from the right side.
- Put the specialist paper in the Bypass Tray. Unfortunately, thick paper and card is not suitable for these machines.
- Release the print job as you normally would.
- The document will be printed on your paper
You can use the Bypass Tray for printing on the following materials:
- paper up to 250gsm
- OHP transparencies
- self-adhesive labels up to A4 size
- envelopes up to A4 size (not heavy duty - regular weight only)
If at any point you would like some assistance in using any of the print, scan or copy facilities in the Library, please speak to a member of the library team on site.
