Print from a library computer
- Send your print job to the printer/copier from a library internet computer.
- Attached to the printer/copier is a release station. Scan in your library card or use the provided stylus to enter your account number.
- This logs you into the printer and allows you to "release" your print jobs.
- All printing or copying must be done on the library's paper.
Print wireless/remotely from your device
Print almost any document or webpage from your internet-connected device (e.g., your home computer or a wireless device) on one of our library printers.

To print in White Salmon Valley:
- Before you start: Anyone can use this service, but if you have a library account, you receive $3.00 printing credit each week when using your account. To get your free prints, log into any of our locations' internet computers first (you need to do this just once). This will register your library account with the printing system.
- How to print:
- Select the "Send print job to ePRINTit" button above.
- Choose the file you wish to print and upload it. If you’re printing from the web, email, or password-protected sites, you may use the app, or find instructions here.
- On the expanded form, verify the details. Pay special attention to color versus black and white, as well as page range and number of copies, if you’re managing costs. Note the estimated cost.
- Enter your name or library account number. You MUST enter an account number if you wish to enjoy any free pages. Adding an email or phone number is also a great idea.
- Choose “Submit.”
- Within 24 hours, go to the print release/payment kiosk at an FVRLibraries location and use your library account number (or username) to print out your files.

Copy
- Deposit money, or enter your account number by scanning in your library card or using the provided stylus.

Scan
On library photocopiers, you can scan to your USB drive in B&W or color for free.
- Place the paper(s) to be scanned in the document feeder (face-up), or on the glass (facedown).
- Plug the USB drive into the port at the front of the copier. The touchscreen will say “External memory device (USB) is connected.”
- On the copier touchscreen, tap “Scan to external memory device.”
- To scan with default options, tap Black & White Start or Color Start. The screen will say “scanning original,” and then “processing data.” For advanced options on your scan (like adding a filename), tap “Details”, then tap “Yes” to exit Easy Scan mode. Set your options, then tap Start.
- If you have additional pages to scan, place the pages and tap Start again.
- After scanning your last page, tap "Read-End."
- Unplug the USB when the touchscreen message changes from "sending data" to "sending complete.”
- Remove your document from the feeder or glass.
