Print Stations at Miner
Three print stations are available at Miner Library:
- Computing Center (black & white prints)
- Lobby Area of the Library (black & white prints)
- Photocopier located in the Lobby Area of the Library (black & white or color prints)
A public photocopier is located in the Lobby Area of the Library.
We offer two options for scanning.
Public Photocopier
Easily scan a document directly to your email account using our public photocopier. It's simple and fast. Instructions are posted by the copier. You'll receive an email, generally within a minute, with the document attached as a pdf. This is best for multi-page, double-sided or documents that do not require any editing.
Scanning is free of charge, however the copier requires a copy card to start the process. Ask at the Answer Desk for a card you can use if you don't have one.
Flatbed Scanner located in the Computing Center
This is a good option for low volume scanning that you want to edit. There is also a multimedia workstation setup with the following software:
- Adobe Acrobat Professional (for creating/editing PDF files)
- Adobe Photoshop (for editing photos and pictures)
- Adobe InDesign (desktop publishing)
