How to Print

The steps to print include:

  • Select "print" from the software menu (location may differ depending on the software)
  • Choose either SecurePcBw (for black & white printing) or ScurePcClr (for color printing)
  • Use your ID Card to access any printer/photocopier within 24 hours to retrieve your print job
  • Speak with IT if you have any questions about setting up your ID card for printing in the Georgetown building

The library recommends using double-sided printing to save paper.

Photocopiers and Scanners
  • There are several photocopiers within the library where you can both photocopy and scan (these are the same devices used for printing).
  • On the ground and first floors, there are "copy centers" that each has a photocopier.
  • The photocopiers also have the capability to scan to either a USB device or a georgetown.edu email address. (Note: the photocopiers can only send emails to georgetown.edu email addresses).
