Printing from your own device (BYOD)

You can print to APNK printers from any device, by sending an email to monitor@print.apnk.nz. You will then receive an auto-reply email with a Job ID; give this Job ID to library staff so they can find your print job in the system.

Things to note:

  • If the email contains file attachments, these attachments will be regarded as the print job, and the email body text will be ignored.

  • If the email has no attachments, the email body text will be the print job.

  • The print job will only remain active in the system for up to 24 hours before being purged.

  • Most standard file types can be sent, including common image files (eg JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP) and document files (eg DOCX, PDF, TXT, XLS, CSV).

  • If a file type is not accepted by the print system, it will most likely result in no auto-reply email being sent. Ask a library staff member if you are unsure.
