How to Print Your Rirekisho at a Convenience Store (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson)

Most part-time applicants — students and new arrivals — do not own a printer, and the job does not end at “PDF downloaded.” It ends with paper in the manager's hand. Every Japanese convenience store has a multicopy machine that prints from your phone for about ¥20–60 a page. Here is how.

Before you go

• Export your resume as a PDF at the correct size (A4, or A3 for the folded JIS layout).
• Decide black-and-white (cheap) or colour (needed if your photo should print in colour).
• Have the relevant app or website ready on your phone.

7-Eleven — netprint

Use the netprint service (the “かんたんnetprint” app is easiest). Upload your PDF, and the app gives you a reservation number. At the store's multicopy machine, choose プリント → ネットプリント, enter the number, pick your settings, and pay. A4 black-and-white is about ¥20; colour about ¥60. A3 is supported for the folded rirekisho.

FamilyMart & Lawson — ネットワークプリント

These chains use ネットワークプリント. Register your PDF through the app or website, get a user number or reservation number, then at the machine choose プリントサービス → ネットワークプリント and enter it. Pricing is similar to 7-Eleven.

Machine settings to choose

• Paper size: A4 for most templates; A3 for the traditional fold-open (観音開き) layout.
• Colour: colour if your photo needs it, otherwise black-and-white to save money.
• Scale: 100% / actual size — never “fit to page,” which shrinks the form.
• Use the highest quality setting so the photo stays sharp.

Tips

• ResumeJP exports at the exact paper size of your chosen template, so it prints to scale with no adjustment.
• Print one test copy and check the photo and text before printing several.
• Carry the finished sheet flat in a clear file inside a white A4 envelope — never folded into quarters.

Get your photo right first with the rirekisho photo rules, then build and export your sheet in the editor.
