Coventry University London: Printing, Photocopying & Scanning

How does printing work in the Library?

Printing in the Library is very straightforward and is normally done in two stages.

The first stage is to send your document to our print network - this is called MyPrint.

The second stage is to release your document from the printer itself.

Find out more below, or check out our Library Help Videos (on the right-hand side).

How do I send a document to the print queue?

There are two ways that you can send a document to print:

• Log on to MyPrint on your personal device (mobile, laptop).
• Or use one of the computers in the Library.

Choose one of the following print options:

• Single/double-sided A4 mono (black and white) 
• Single-sided A4 colour
• Single-sided A3

How do I release a document from the print queue?

To collect your printed work, login to any printer using your University ID card or the touch screen with your University username and password. The print option is called MyPrint.

What about photocopying and scanning?

Our printers also offer photocopying and scanning facilities so you can combine all three tasks whilst using the same machine.

Where can I find a printer?

There are two printers located in the Library - one near the Library Helpdesk and one near the book shelves.

Other printers are located on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of University House.

If you need to print, photocopy or scan A3 documents, please use the Library printers. 

How much does printing cost?

How much is photocopying & scanning?

Photocopying costs are the same as printing. 

Scanning a document is free of charge.

What are printing credits?

Most students will receive an allocation of credits (£25 / 2500 credits) when they first join Coventry University London. Each year, returning students will receive another free allocation.

Once these credits have been used you can purchase further credits online using a debit or credit card on MyPrint. The minimum credit purchase you can make is £1.

To do this, log on to MyPrint and select 'Add Credit' from the main menu.
