If you happen to run out of time in the middle of word processing, the Library has instructions on saving your work: How To Save a Word Document on Disk or in Email

How It Works:

• Computers at the branch are networked to a Print Release Station.
  
  
• When you print, you will be asked to identify the print job with a user ID.
  
  
• Then pay for and pick up your print job at the Print Release Station.
  
  
• The coinbox at the Station takes bills in denominations of $1, $2 and $5, and the following coins: nickels, dimes, quarters and dollars (not half dollars).
  
  
• Your print job disappears if you do not retrieve it within 4 hours.

• If there is no place to select "Print," you can follow the instructions for How Do I Print Web Pages? (above on this page).
  
  

If the article is a PDF file:

To view or print a PDF file, you must have free software called Adobe Reader, which you can download. Note: All Library computers already have this software installed.

• The Adobe Reader screen which surrounds the PDF page will tell you how many pages are in the document.
  
  
• You must use the "Print" command within Adobe Acrobat — the printer icon.
  
  
  • If you use the web browser to print, you will likely get only the 1st page of your article.
    
    
• When you click the Adobe printer icon, you will see a window that lets you choose:
  
  
  • If you want to print all the pages, just select or at the bottom of the pop-up window.
