Print, copy and scan

In order to use the university's copy machines for printing, copying, and scanning, you will need print credit, which you can have pre-loaded onto your student card at the library. You will need a german bank card for this. Unfortunately, cash payment is not possible. The print and copy credit is separate from other credits that may be on your card (such as the dining hall credit).

Copying

Note: Copies are only available in black and white.

Here's how:

1. Place the copy card in the holder on the front of the device.
2. Select "Kopie" in the device display.
3. Place the documents on the scanner glass or in the feeder.
4. If necessary: Adjust the copy settings, e.g.
a) paper size (A3 or A4)
b) double-sided copying (duplex: 2-sided to 2-sided)
5. Start copying with the blue start button.
6. Log off from the device.

Possible problems and trouble shooting

Large documents take a long time to be sent from the PC to the server. Therefore, plan some time for sending if you print larger scripts. If you log off from the PC before the end of the sending process, the sending will be interrupted and the document cannot be printed! If you log on to the same PC again, the sending process will be resumed.

 

Your document is still not being printed? Please check whether ...

 

- ... the user account when logging on to the library PC is the same as the one on the Copy Card.

- ... the e-mail address matches that of the Copy Card.

- ... there is enough credit on the Copy Card.

- ... you have selected the correct printer (HGU-Drucker an druck-srv1).
