How to use the printers at Cedarbrae
One of the most frequently asked questions we get here at Cedarbrae Branch is how to print a document from one of our free public access computers. It may seem a bit complicated at first, but once you know the steps, you’ll be printing in no time.
Print stations at Cedarbrae Branch are located:
1st floor – Children’s Area beside the children’s information desk
2nd floor – Near the adult information desk – Adult Area Printer
2nd floor – Beside the entrance to the Teen Zone – Learning Centre Printer
These printers:
– function also as photocopiers
– print in black and white ONLY
– do NOT have scanning functions
Step 1
– Add money value to your library card or purchase a print card at the 1st floor service desk
– The library does not take cash for printing and our printers do not take coins
– Print outs cost 15 cents per page
Step 2
– The print function on most programs, including Microsoft Word, can be found by clicking the Office icon in the top left hand corner of your window.
– Once you click PRINT a window will pop-up – here you will need to select a printer – be sure to choose one that doesn’t state “xxx documents waiting.” If you see this message – your print job will NOT be sent to the printer. This window is also where you indicate how many copies you want to print
Step 3
– A box will pop-up asking you for a username and password – this is a way for the printer to identify who you are
– Create a username using 4-8 letters or numbers – DO NOT USE YOUR FULL LIBRARY CARD NUMBER
– Create a password using 4-8 NUMBERS ONLY. For example: 1234
Tip: If you are printing multiple documents, use the same username and password for each one and print them all together.
Step 4
– Make sure the print station is set to “PRINTER”.
– Touch “PRINT JOBS” on the menu screen.
– Find your User ID and touch your print job.
– Insert your card into the card reader.
– Use the key pad to type in your password, then touch “PRINT” on the screen, and “OK” and then “YES” to confirm.
– Your print job will be found underneath.
– Press the button on the card reader to remove your library or print card.
Tip: Always highlight your print job first, then insert your card into the reader to avoid printing unwanted documents.
Tip: Sometimes you will be asked for paper size, select the correct size and resume printing.
If you run into problems, feel free to ask library staff for assistance!
