Connecting Your Laptop to the Internet

Using Library Computers

  • The computers behind the Research/IT Desk are always logged in and ready to go. Look up books and send files to the printer without waiting for a computer to turn on.
  • For the guest password for the lab computers, just ask at any service desk.
  • Library lab computers have MacOS and a full suite of software installed.

Printing in the Library

Copying and Scanning in the Library

Flatbed Scanners

  • Flatbed scanners in the Reference room will scan images to the computers they're connected to. Instructions are posted next to the scanners.

      

 

Scanner on the Printer

One of the printers (the one with the photocopy apparatus on top) will scan to an email (PDF and image files).

  • On the display panels, enter "1" as the username and "0" as the password
  • Choose Scan
  • Choose My Personal Account or enter an Account Code if you have one
  • Choose your preferred way of receiving the scanned document
  • Choose your own options or leave them as default and then press Start
  • At the end of the complete scan, you must choose the green Finish button within 1 hour, or the scan file will never be saved or sent.

       

Photocopy documents using your Friend of the College card or Carleton Affiliate card

If scanning to email will work for you, we encourage that process. If scanning won't work for you, please see someone at the Research/IT desk for assistance.
