Do USB flash drives still work?
Use the computer workstation to open your USB flash drive and print. There is one station in the Gresham Library where you can scan to a USB flash drive, no login required.
Can I still scan items on the copier glass?
Yes. After you login, you can send a scan by email. Type the target email to send your scan where you can retrieve it. Scans are free. Scan to USB flash drive will not work except at a single location in the Gresham Library.
I'm not registered this term; can I still use the system?
Once you have enrolled and used the system, your account will remain until it has not been used for a year. There will never be more than $3 in the MHCC portion of your account. The MHCC portion of your account will not be refreshed to $3 until you are again enrolled in a class. Any unused balance will not be refunded.
I'm not a student. Can I register as a guest?
Yes. If you click "print" from a public computer, the first login screen has a guest registration link. Follow the instructions to open an account. Guests will need a debit or credit card to add value to the account before printing, copying and scanning will be available.
NOTE: Remember the username and password you put on your guest account. They cannot be retrieved by the college.
