Printing system

On all campus you can use the student printers. You can print, copy and scan with these devices. drucker

Printing quota and color setting

IIn the age of digitization, we would ask you to check whether the respective printout is really necessary and whether it must be in color, for the sake of our environment. You have a quota of 20 units per month that can be accumulated over several months. A black and white print in DIN A4 costs 0.05 units, a color expression 0.5 units. So you could have up to 400 black and white prints per month (but only 40 color prints). Please bear in mind your print volume. If your volume is full/used up, you will receive a message on the printer screen. Please note that the devices will automatically print in color, even if only one pixel color is found in the document. To avoid this, select the option "Black/White" printing.

Printing documents
