Yes! Any of the Library's printers can be used to photocopy.

See below for more information regarding how to copy, photocopy settings, photocopying costs, and photocopy help.

How to Photocopy

1. Place your original document

If your original is letter-sized (8½" x 11") and is not bound or stapled, you can place it in the feeder on the top of the printer.

• The original should be placed face-up in the feeder, with the long edge touching the rollers, as in the image below. Multiple pages can be placed in the feeder at once.
• Pages that are damaged, wrinkled, stapled, or clipped together should not be placed in the feeder, as they may become jammed.
  

If your original is not letter-sized (or is unable to be placed in the feeder due to damage, binding, etc.), you can lift up the top of the printer and use the glass.

• Your original should be placed face-down on the glass, touching the top-left corner (as indicated in red on the image below).
• The left and top edges have guide lines to help you correctly align your original.
  
   

2. Log in to the printer using your RDP email address and password.
    
3. Select Device Functions, then select Access Device.
    
4. Select Copy.
    
5. Change copy settings as needed.
    
6. On the keypad, type the number of desired copies.
    
7. Press the Start button to begin copying.
   ​​​​​Note: if you are copying multiple pages on the printer's glass, you will be prompted to place the next original once the first page has been scanned.

Photocopy Settings

For help with any settings not listed below, ask Library staff.

Color

This setting determines whether your copy will be in black and white or in colour.

• Black will create black and white copies (this is the default setting).
• Auto Color will create colour copies.
   

Paper

This setting determines what size of paper will be used for your copy.

• By default, the printer will attempt to automatically determine the size of the item you are copying.
• If the printer cannot determine the size of the original document, you will need to manually select the paper size from the following options:
  • Letter (8½" x 11")
  • Legal (8½" x 14")
  • Tabloid (11" x 17")

Duplex / Combine

This setting allows you to indicate if the original and photocopy are one-sided or two sided.
Note: The default setting is 1Sided > 1Sided.

Photocopying Costs

The cost of photocopying using the Library printers is the same as the cost of printing.
