You can send a print job from anywhere (including your personal device in the library, or your computer at home). 

  1. Create a new email message. Leave the Subject field blank.

  2. Use one of these options:

    Print a file
    Attach a file (e.g. PDF, Word, JPG) to be printed to the email. Note that in this case, any content in the body of the email will be ignored. You can send us multiple attachments in the same email. 

    Print the email contents
    If there is no file attachment, the system will assume you wish to have the body content of the email printed instead.

  3. Send the email to monitor@print.apnk.nz

  4. After a few minutes, you will receive a reply confirming that your print job has been received. This reply will also contain a unique Job ID number. This Job ID number is valid for 24 hours. 

  5. Provide the Job ID number to a library staff member. Please advise if you want to change anything about your print job (e.g. single or double sided).

  6. You will be advised of the cost of the print job. You can make your payment via cash or EFTPOS then library staff will print out your document.

Self-service scanning to email is also available. Locate the scanner in the middle of the library. The user-friendly interface can guide you through the process, please ask library staff if you need any assistance. The scanning service is free of charge.
