    • You may select which pages of a multiple-paged document you wish to print.
    • Each library has a different printer code. The code for Herman Brown Free Library is 107392.
    • Most documents that are not password protected can be printed via mobile printing.
    • Amazon shipping labels may not be printed with mobile printing as they are tied to your Amazon account and may require logging in to access.
