Mobile Printing Process
After downloading the Spot Global Printing App and sending your documents to a specific library branch for printing, follow these steps:
Visit the service desk and let library staff you’re there to print
Staff will ask for your PIN (personal identification number) and payment
Prints are picked up at the public copier machine
Here are a few helpful hints (for detailed instructions, check out the video tutorials and F.A.Q.)
The first time clicking on a library printer in the Spot Global app the printer will be listed as “ipps://sv09.libraricacloud.com…” Click on that printer and it will be renamed to a specific printer such as “Nixa Branch Printer”
Don’t forget your PIN because it’s required to release prints
All prints are formatted to a standard 8.5” x 11” letter size
Documents can be printed single-sided or double-sided
Black andwhite prints are .10 per side. Color prints are .25 per side. Cash and credit/debit cards are accepted if the total is more than one dollar.
Prints are saved for 72 hours (3 days) and then are deleted
Visit the library's service desk and let them know that you have sent a mobile print. Staff will as for your pin number and collect payment before sending the document to the public copier.
Start at the library’s service desk. Staff will ask for the PIN and collect payment before printing. Cash and credit/debit cards are accepted if the total is more than one dollar.
Yes! This is required for print verification.
In SPOT global print app for a mobile device (such as a phone, tablet or laptop) you can review the PIN number if you forgot it.
If you printed from a device at your home, then be sure to write down your PIN number. If you've forgotten your PIN number, and you don't have it written down, then you can use other information to verify your print.
You can tell the service desk what your document is named, and the number of pages.
Please note: Library staff are unable to preview a print job, or release print jobs without payment. If you don't know the document's info, or forgot the PIN number ready, then we are unable to print.
Unfortunately, the process will have to be started over. Library staff will be willing to help with a replacement printed if an error occurred, or if the print settings were wrong.
Don't forget, you can always contact the service desk of branch for assistance with mobile printing.
