The library now has a wireless/cloud printing option named Cybrarian AirPrinter that allows you to print from your own device. We will no longer print documents sent to our lawlib@acgov.org address.

To print from your own device, go to https://www.airprinter.com/alameda and upload and submit your files to be printed.

If printing an email message or email attachment from your mobile device like a smartphone or tablet, you will first need to Save or Share the message or attachment to the “Files” folder on your smartphone before you can upload it to AirPrinter.

Save your Release Station ID or Print Job ID to be able to release your prints.

Releasing your prints:

After printing from a library computer or your own device, you need to go to the Print Release Station computer, located to the right of the Reference Desk, to release your print jobs and pay for your prints. Enter your library card barcode number, guest slip number, Release Station ID, or Print Job ID on the Print Release Station screen to view your queued print jobs. Insert payment in the payment machine located next to the photocopier, select the documents you want printed on the Print Release Station screen, and press the Print button. Press down on the silver plunger on the payment machine when you’re done to release any change or to end your credit card session.
