Scanning, faxing, and copying can all be done at the same machine! These machines are available at all locations.
Our machines are designed to print only 8.5" x 11" paper. All of them accept cash or credit/debit and are self-service.
PLEASE NOTE: The library cannot provide change or break bills! However, the coin boxes will provide change if you do not use the full balance inserted. You must use coins, $1 bills, or $5 bills.
Other Features:
• Single or duplex printing
• Scan to PDF, USB, or email
• Print PDFs, JPGs, or TIFFs from USB
Library Lover Tip: If you don't need a hard copy of a document, consider going green and copying it to USB or email instead of to paper.
Special Book Scanning Station: Several of our branches provide a different type of scanning service. These scanners do not have print capabilities; they are designed for patrons who wish to make digital copies of books or documents. Scanning to PDF on these machines is free. Learn More
