Paid printing in the library

Printing in the library

Printing with KUARIO

A library is a public space where everyone is welcome and, in addition to borrowing books and other sources of information, today’s library is a modern meeting place where library visitors come together to learn or work. This creates the demand for more services, including printing. KUARIO offers the ideal self-service printing solution without management burden for these public environments.

The KUARIO public print solution consists of a KUARIO MFP Kiosk application that is installed on a multifunction printer. This changes the user interface of this multifunctional printer to a webshop where you can easily order and pay for prints, copies and scans.

The KUARIO MFP Kiosk is safe, offers ease of use and unburdens the library, from concierge, facility manager, IT manager, head of finance to the management. In addition to printing, KUARIO also offers financial relief because the financial user management is provided by KUARIO.

Print from your phone

Mobile print

Visitors increasingly have smart devices such as smartphones or tablets with cameras that can scan QR codes. On the display of the multifunctional printer, the visitor can choose the function ‘guest printing’ and then a QR code is shown. The visitor scans this QR code with the camera of his smart device and is then guided to a print page where he can print any document or photo that is on his smartphone or any activated cloud account such as OneDrive and Google drive. Once the print job has been sent, it immediately appears on the display of the multifunction printer and can be adjusted if necessary. If the print order is satisfactory, it can be placed in the shopping cart and paid for.

Make up your own code

Print as a guest visitor

When printing from a public computer as a guest visitor of the library, a message appears on the screen where the guest user can enter his name and a self-invented code. This secures the print job because the guest visitor is the only one who knows this combination. At the multifunctional printer, the guest visitor enters this combination of name and self-invented code. With this the guest user logs in and the print job appears on the display of the multifunction printer and can be adjusted if necessary. If the print order is satisfactory, it can be placed in the shopping cart and paid for. After payment, the print order will be printed.
