TO PRINT

1. Locate your file. If you are not accessing your file from the web, open your file in Preview and skip to Step 6.

2. If accessing a file from the web such as through email, Google Drive, or directly from a site the next step is to download your file. The printer will not print directly from the web. 

3. Word documents must be converted to pdfs before printing. 

4. (Insert brief instructions/advice for printing images.)

5.  Once you have downloaded your file from the internet (see example below), open finder > downloads. You will find your file here and it will automatically open in Preview.

 

6. Once in Preview, go to file > print. Make sure the correct printer is selected (library-bw or library-color), that your prints are the correct scale and that your desired paper size is selected.
