# Printing a Document

Seneca students may print documents from the Computing Commons with their [Seneca OneCard](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/61/onecard/home)and can collect them at nearby printers.

The cost for printing in **black and white is $0.05** while printing in **colour is $0.20**.  See instructions for [loading funds](https://students.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/61/onecard/wiki/view/286/manage-my-account)

###  Step 1  Load Funds onto Your OneCard 

Check your balance in the **OneCard app** under *Account Balances*.
If you need to add funds, use the **Fund Loaders** near the ITS desk or add money online through the**OneCard app**.

To do this, open the app and select **My Funds → Add Funds**, then choose **Employees\** **Students** and sign in using your Seneca credentials. Once logged in, select **Menu \(top right\) → Add Money**, choose **One Card Funds** under **Select Account**, enter the amount and payment method, and complete the payment. Your balance will update shortly.

**Amount that can be added on the app \(Min $2.00, Max $1,000.00\) CAD**

###  Step 2  Log In to a Campus PC

Use your **Seneca email and password** to sign in.
Printing is only available from **campus computers** \(e.g., in the Computing Commons\), not personal devices.

###  Step 3  Download and Open Your Document

Download your file directly onto the campus PC and open it before printing.
This prevents blank or incorrect pages from printing.

###  Step 4  Select Your Printer

Click the **Print** icon or press **Ctrl + P** to open the print menu.
