Printing
Library cardholders receive a weekly print/copy credit of $5.00.
Black and white prints are charged at 10 cents per page, and color prints are charged at 20 cents per page.
All library locations have a multi-function print/scan/copy device available for use.
You can send prints from library computers or from your personal device via the ePRINTit web page at https://tacoma.eprintitsaas.com/public/upload (more on that service, below).
Scanning to USB is available free of charge.
Copies are available at the same costs as prints, 10 cents per page for black and white and 20 cents per page for color. When paying with credit card for copies, there is a 99 copy maximum per transactions.
ePRINTit Remote Printing
The ePRINTit remote printing service allows you to send documents from your personal device to a printer at the Tacoma Public Library location of your choice.
Access the remote printing service through the web page portal: https://tacoma.eprintitsaas.com/public/upload
Paper sizes supported:
- Letter (8.5"x11")
- Ledger (11"x17")
- Legal (8.5"x14")
You can retrieve the print at any library location with your card number and PIN. If you have not printed with us before, you will need to speak to a staff member to retrieve your prints.
Library staff will need the guest name you used to send the print to find it and send it to the printer.
At this time, the ePRINTit service offered through the library is not compatible with the ePRINTit app, but the web page option works on smartphones, tablets, and computers!
Scanning
Scanning to USB flash drive is available at all branches free of charge. Flash drives are available to borrow, or you may purchase one for $5.00. Public computers may be used to email the documents to yourself or another email address. Scanning directly to email is not available at this time.
