Technology Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not here, book an appointment or stop into the library

Yes! You would do this by sending an email with the document attached to mobileprint@eradl.us.uniflowonline.com

You will receive two email messages back in response. The first is just a confirmation. The second is the important one. It will have a code to get the document printed.

This will depend on several factors.

First, we need to know which OS computer is running (Linux, macOS, Windows, or ChromeOS).

Next, we need to establish whether you want to use free or paid software.

Finally, the recommendations made by our Technology Coordinator regarding software should not be construed as official endorsements from Eaton Rapids Area District Library for specific software solutions.

You may find the website Alternativeto to be a good resource to find less expensive or free software.

For any online service that requires it, your pin will be userpass
