Retrieving print jobs sent to the CTRC

Go to any printer in the CTRC and swipe your BC ID at the print release station. Your job will print at the first available printer.

Notes:

• The default setting in the CTRC and Libraries is now set to double-sided, so if you want to print single-sided, you will need to change the default setting. Learn more about double-sided printing with Windows.
• Your print jobs remain in the queue for 48 hours, making it easier to print to the CTRC from anywhere.
