Printing from your IOS Device
You must first create a SmartAlec account using the SmartAlec website. See instructions here (opens in new window).
For instructions, watch the video or follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Step 1: Download the app and sign in.
1. Install the SmartAlec @ Your Library app from the App Store.
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
1. Open the item you want to print. Click the "Share" icon.
2. On the next page click the black and white print icon at the bottom of the page.
A Printer Options window will pop up. Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch and zoom the preview. It will get larger and then open in a new window. Note: You must do this in order for the next step to appear!
On the zoomed page click the Share icon.
From the Share options choose the SmartAlec Printing icon.
Your item will be uploaded. When it is finished, a link to send will appear. Click on "Send." It will be sent to the SmartAlec print queue.
Optional: Open the SmartAlec app to view a list of your active print jobs. (You can get your printouts without opening the app.)
STEP 3: Pick up Your Printouts 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.
