Bookshelf eTextBook Printing
Can I print from my eTextBook?
Some eTextBooks can be printed from; restrictions set by the copyright owner, the content publisher. Please note that printing is for personal use only. Any commercial use violates our Terms of Use, or data collection and/ or profit is not allowed.
How do I print from my eTextBook?
Please note we designed Bookshelf printing to print small, “on the go” sized print jobs. Therefore, regardless of the Copy Print Restrictions (CPR), printing a title cover to cover will inherently cause print job issues.
Note: We suggest to not queue large groups of pages, anything over 40 pages should be considered to be printed on separate print jobs.
The Print function resides in the More Options menu.
Selecting the Print option will bring up the following options.
After inputting the page number range and selecting "Print," you will see the following message.
After the print job has spooled up, you will see the following message.
After you select Print Now, a window will popup to allow you to save the page(s) to PDF.
Why is "DO NOT COPY" and my email address on all my printed pages?
The watermark on the pages printed from your Bookshelf eTextBook protects publisher content and reduces piracy; the print job pings our server for verification and disclaimer injection. This process converts the content to a printable document with non-removable watermarks—the design of Bookshelf printing is for printing small, “on the go” sized print jobs. Please remember that printing is for personal use only. Any commercial use violates our Terms of Use, or data collection and/or for-profit is not allowed.
