You can use W Print to print from your laptop or from a library computer. Library computers have a default black and white printer. If you want to print in colour or single-sided, adjust the printing options before sending your document to the printer. To print from a library computer:

1. Send your document to the printer: choose "Print" from the "File" menu, or click on the "Print" icon in the "Print" dialogue box.
2. In the "Login" dialogue box, enter your WatIAM credentials and click "OK"
3. Please wait until you see the following dialogue box before going to the Release Stations to print your job.
4. Release your print job: at the print station, swipe your WatCard or type in your WatIAM credentials.
   
5. Highlight the job(s) from the list and select print. If you have enough money on your card to pay for the printout, it is printed and the price is deducted from your card. If you don't have enough money on your card, the printout remains in the queue for two hours, so you can add funds to your card.
