Helpful hints:

Select your printer:

It is important you select either the color or black-and-white printer BEFORE you choose to print your document; the printer defaults automatically to the last print job before your own.

For example, if the person before you printed in color -- your print job automatically defaults to the color printer UNLESS you choose the black-and-white printer BEFORE you print.

Please ask the Librarian for assistance.

Images:

If you find an image online you would like to print, it is best not to File-Print directly from the Internet Explorer.

Save the file to your external control device, such as a flash drive or a floppy. Alternatively, you may save to the computer desktop -- but be advised that all files are DELETED once the computer is rebooted or logged-off.

Go to Start-My Computer, locate your image, select it, and double-click on it. Your image automatically opens in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Click on the printer icon on the bottom right of the window. Send image to the printer.

Adobe Acrobat files

When printing an Adobe Acrobat file, be sure to click on the printer icon inside of Adobe; do not select File-Print.
