Now I’m ready to upload my document. In this box, I can input the number of copies of the document that I need to print. Since I only need one copy, I will leave the number of copies to one.
We recommend uploading your document in PDF format for the best results. Other file types like DOC, PPT, and PNG are supported, but PDF is the most reliable. Additionally, please ensure your document is formatted to letter size (8.5” x 11”).
Click Upload Complete.
Once your document is uploaded, it will be processed, and you can collect your printout from the selected printer.
The library offers additional printing and scanning services. For more details on that, visit the library website and hover over the Print/Scan icon at the top of the page.
