Printing and IT

The Print Service uses Multifunctional Devices (MFDs) which offer printing, copying and scanning. You can release your print or copy job at any MFD across the University, including in library buildings.

Essentials

• You will need to activate your print account before you can use the Print Service or top up your print credit.
• Top up your print credit online at myprint.nottingham.ac.uk
• All University of Nottingham Libraries are cashless. Top up your credit online, where possible.
