Printing and Scanning

Printing


Printing is available for all Library computers.

Printers are located in the Reserve Room on the lower level and near the computers on the upper level.

An Anytime Printing station is located at the Library's entrance. Students can use a nearby computer to retrieve a document and print it out even when the Library is closed.

Printers are also available in other computer labs and at EZprint mobile stations.

How do I print?

After sending a document to print from a library computer, a popup on your screen will ask you to log in with your John Jay ID and password, the same you use for your email.

Then go to a Print Release Station (located next to the printers) and enter the same ID and password. Select the "Print" button next to the document(s) you want to print out. The document should then print out. 

Wifi printing

You can print using wifi to any EZprint stations or any print release stations in the Library using your own laptop. How to print wirelessly »

Scanning


Scanners are located in the Reserve Room on the Library's lower level and near the Law Reference section on the upper level.

You can email scanned files, print them, and/or save them to your USB drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.

Students may only use the scanners for limited periods of time when the Library is busy.

Scanning costs

Scanning is free. Note that individuals should never scan or copy a complete book, as that would be a copyright infringement. What you can photocopy and scan »
