How to Print from a Laptop, Smartphone, Tablet, or Other Mobile Device

1. Go to uprint.illinoisstate.edu.
2. Login with your ULID and password.
3. Click Upload and upload a document to print.
4. Print job should appear on a list in the middle of the page.  Check box next to the print job.
5. Use dropdowns at bottom right to choose print settings for document, including: color/black and white, 1-sided/2-sided, page range, and number of copies.  By default, it will print 1-sided in black in white.  Print settings may also be chosen or changed at the Print Station, but it will save time at the Print Station if you select them here.
6. Check your Redbird Dollar balance on the bottom left of the screen to make sure you have enough money to pay for your print job.

    • To add money to account, use dollar bills at Card Machine on Floor 2 to load money on card, or go to Redbird Card Office or Cashier’s Office.
