Troubleshooting

Icon Description

The printing system can handle files up to at least 60 MB. It is very rare for documents to be so large unless it's a professional print job. If you try to print a file larger than 60 MB, the system will report an error. You can either compress the file to a size smaller than 60 MB or, if it's a multi-page document, print it in multiple sessions. For example: If you try to print a document containing 60 pages with a size of 80 MB, print the first 30 pages (1-30) in one session and then print the next 30 pages (31-60) in a new session.

If you experience that your PDF document cannot be completed on the library's printer, it may be because the PDF contains so-called layers. PDF files can contain layered content if they are created from layered documents using programs such as Adobe InDesign. As a result, a single page in a PDF document may contain different layers with different content. This can result in the printing system being unable to decode the file correctly, and therefore printing cannot be completed.

If you experience problems printing your PDF file, we recommend that you convert the file from PDF to, for example, Word and upload the document again to the printing system. Please note that even if you upload a document multiple times, money will only be deducted for the prints that are completed. After 72 hours (3 banking days), the reserved amounts for incomplete print jobs will be cancelled, and therefore those amounts will not be deducted from your account.

Icon Description
