Each PrinterOn enabled printer is provided a unique name used to access the printer. If you receive a message stating that the printer could not be located in the directory, please confirm that the name of the printer is correct and resubmit your print request to the printer. If your request cannot be found, it is likely that an incorrect email address is being entered. Double check which email address you used when submitting the print request. It’s also possible that there was a typo in your email when you submitted your print request from the website or the app. Ask for assistance from staff – they may be able to find the print request listed with a similar email address. Staff cannot send print requests to other Locations. If you have sent your print request to the wrong Library Location, you will need to send it again to the correct place.
All print requests sent to the color printer will cost 50¢ per page. The printer doesn’t change the price based on the file. Staff will not be able to move your print request to a black and white printer. You will need to send the file again to the correct printer.
A web page will print as it looks on the device you are using to submit the print request. For Example: When printing from your phone, using the PrinterOn app, the web page will likely print looking like the mobile version of the web page
When editing a document with some applications, such as Microsoft Word, your document is formatted and presented to you on the screen based on the paper size configured for the printer your computer is currently using. In order to help ensure the security of your documents as well as other users, PrinterOn’s printing service disables some features such as Macros in Microsoft Office documents. Macros in documents are sometimes used to perform operations automatically when the document is opened. Unfortunately, Macros have become an increasingly common method of transferring viruses. As a result, PrinterOn does not allow Macros to be run when printing a document.
In some cases, your document may contain information that cannot be handled by PrinterOn. These may include password protected documents or documents that require a user to enter information or confirm a pop-up message when it’s opened. When this occurs, PrinterOn may take longer than expected to identify the problem and report the failure. If problems persist, ensure that your document is not password protected and does not contain pop-ups.

If the paper size is larger, it may use fewer pages and if the paper size is smaller it may use more pages.
