2. Open the app. If you already have a SmartAlec account, log in with your library card number or your email address. (If you haven't created a SmartAlec account yet, see instructions here.)
3. Exit the app. The app does not need to be open in order to upload your files for printing.
STEP 2: Upload your files
Apps used on an Android device may have different commands to print. The most common ways to print from an app are using the Share icon or the More options (3 dots) icon.
The steps below show a demonstration of printing a photo using SmartAlec.
1. Open the item you want to print. Click on the More Options (3 dots) or the Share link in the top right corner.
2. Click on the "Select a printer" dropdown menu. (You may need to scroll to see all options.)
3. Choose the SmartAlec Printer.
4. You may get a popup message, asking if you want to use SmartAlec. Click on the "OK" button.
5. Click the Printer icon.
6. Optional: Open the SmartAlec app to view a list of your active print jobs. (You can print without opening the app.)
STEP 3: Pick up Your Document Using No-Contact Pickup
During no-contact pickup hours, drive to your local branch. Call the holds-pickup number and tell the staff member you have printouts. Give your library card number to identify your printouts. Complete instructions for no-contact pickup.
