Other Users
Other users may also print in the TFDL, following the steps below:
1. RESERVE: You must reserve a computer workstation from which to send your document to a printer on the Computer Workstation & Study Space booking page. It is recommended that you reserve the computer prior to arriving at the library to ensure its availability when you arrive to print.
Note: The requirement to use one of these computers to send files to the printer limits other users’ access to printing to the hours set forth on the above-linked booking page.
2. PRINTING CARD: Purchase a Guest printing card from the red Unicard machine located in the print station area on the first floor of the TFDL. Guest cards cost $1 and additional money for printing can be loaded after purchase. Only cash ($1 or $2 coins or $5-$20 bills) can be used in this machine.
Note: The Unicard machine does not provide change.
3. ACCESS: Obtain a Guest Login from the service desk and a QR code at the guest registration computer. Use the QR code to enter the turnstiles and logon to your reserved computer workstation using the Guest Login.
4. SEND: Send your document(s) to the print queue labelled Student2 on itctspcp06.uc.ucalgary.ca. A box will open and prompt you for an ID and password. Your ID is the number on the front of your Guest Unicard with two zeros added to the front. Your password is the barcode on the back of the card.
5. PRINT: Go to a printer and manually enter the same username and password as in Step 4. Select Login and tap Print Release to see your file(s). Select your file and tap Print to it. Logout when you are finished.
The cost to print is $0.08/side for black and white and $0.20/side for colour.
