Printing, copying and scanning at the Espoo city library

At the library you can print from the customer computers. Start printing as usual with the program you are using. When you send the print from the computer to the printer by clicking the print button, the computer will upload the file to the printing application Princh and open a new window. 

After uploading the file, next to the file name there is a selection for grayscale or color print, number of copies and additional options. By default, the prints are in color and one sided. Please note that print settings provided by the computer's operating system, such as any margin settings, are not transferred to the Princh application. The settings must be saved in the document before printing.

When you are happy with the settings, accept the terms of service and move forward to choosing the payment method. You can pay via a card, or with ApplePay, GooglePal or MobilePay. The payment will be refunded automatically after 72 hours if you do not release the print at the library within 24 hours.

If you wish to pay with a card at a library, you can select “pay at desk”. Please note that paying with a card is only possible during library customer service hours. The page will ask your name so you can tell the library staff your name for them to identify and release your print.  

After the payment selection page, the website will give you a four digit code for your print. Write the code down. Enter the code to a tablet next to the printer to print your document. You cannot print without the four digit code. If you have chosen to pay at desk, you need to first pay your print to the staff before the code will work. Printing is not possible without the four digit code. Your code will not be visible to library staff to ensure data security. If you forget your code, you will have to start printing again. 

If you want to print multiple files at once, that is also possible. When the first file has been uploaded to the Princh printing application, minimize the Princh window before you move forward to choosing a payment method.After this, you can send another file to the Princh print program by selecting the print icon for the next document. 

The library staff will assist you in printing at the library. 

You can send prints from your computer at the Princh printing site (print.princh.com)(external link, opens in a new window). At first you will enter a six-digit printer number of the library you want to send the print to. You can find the printer numbers from a separate section below.

Next, upload the file you want to print to the page. The file size can be up to 30 megabytes.

After uploading a file, you can specify the print settings next to the file name: black and white or colour printing, number of copies and additional options. By default, the prints are in color and one sided.

Following this the print will be paid. You can pay at your own computer via a debit card, with PayPal or MobilePay. The payment will be refunded automatically after 72 hours if you do not release the print at the library within 24 hours.
