• Files can be temporarily saved to the “Desktop”, but these files will be deleted after ending your session.
• Patrons are responsible for loss of their own data due to expiration of time. Please save your work frequently.
• All PCs automatically shut down 10 minutes prior to closing time. Please save your work frequently.

The Print Management component controls the output of all PC’s.  The following settings apply to each PC:

• Black & White Print-outs = .10 cents / page

• Once the number of pages, the price / page and total cost have been accepted by pressing “OK” twice, the print request will be sent to the Circulation Desk. Patrons must provide the last 4 digits of their card number plus the appropriate cash payment in order to obtain their printouts.
