Print, Copy, Scan & Fax
The library offers convenient, self-service printing and copying services at Lynn Valley Library, Capilano Library, and Parkgate Library. Whether you're printing a simple document, making copies, or scanning files, we're happy to help with basic printing and photocopying services for public use.
What we offer:
Colour or black & white laser printing
Standard paper sizes (letter and legal) and stock
Double-sided printing is only available in black & white on letter-sized paper (8.5x11)
Basic printing support for common file types
What to expect:
Library printers are designed for quick, everyday use. Staff can assist with getting started and basic troubleshooting, such as connecting to the printer or clearing a jam. Staff are not able to provide advanced document or paper formatting. Complex, custom print jobs or very long documents may be beyond what the library can accommodate.
Print at the Library
You can print directly from any of our library’s computer stations. You will need your library card (barcode) number and PIN to log into a computer and release your print job.
Print from a USB
You can print directly from a USB without logging into a library computer. No library card is needed.
Print from Home or Your Own Device
Select which branch you want to print from:
“Click here to select and upload a file” to browse your device for the file you would like to print. Once you find it, click “Open.”
“Preview” your print job by clicking on the file name.
Adjust the “Settings” of your print job by clicking on the icon. You can change the paper format, number of copies, and page range. Once you are satisfied, click “Accept.”
Click to “Accept Terms and Conditions.”
Click “Continue.”
Type in your email address, which will be used to identify your print job at the printing station. Click “OK.”
8. Click “Done” or “Print Another Document.”
Please Note: Print jobs must be released before the library closes, or they will be automatically deleted overnight. We recommend visiting the library at least 15 minutes before closing to allow enough time to release and pick up your prints.
