IIRC, you key in the email address you want to use. Either that or by your access code. I figured it out by reading the printer manual that we had for the one in Voter. I’m sure there’s a copy of the manual floating around somewhere. It took a bit of trial-and-error to get it right, but probably still took me less time than printing four copies of the 150 pages I needed for my teammates.

Didn’t know that library printers/scanners could convert scans into PDF files and email these to you. How does the printer/scanner know you email address? From your access code? Would you (or anyone else) know if this is documented somewhere?

For a Geography course I took in 2008, I found it helpful to use the library printers as a scanner. They can scan pages from a book, turn it into a PDF, and email the PDF right to you, which you can then markup using Acrobat’s highlighting tools and email it out to other students working on a group project. Not sure if you were planning to cover this feature of the printers in this workshop, but its an easy way to use them without impacting your print quota.
