  • Save your document in the desired format: A4 or A3 are possible.
  • When uploading your document, you must specify how the print job is to be carried out (e.g. black and white or colour, double-sided, etc.).
  • The prices for printouts and copies depend on the format, single-sided or duplex, black and white or colour. The exact price is displayed before the printout.
    Example: a single-sided black and white printout in A4 costs €0.05.
  • You can delete the print jobs after printing. Print jobs that have not been deleted can be found under "Jobs / Printed".
  • Various scanning functions are available. Depending on the device, files are saved to a USB stick or to the home directory. It is possible to scan and send files to an email address.

If you need high-quality printouts, for example for presentations or your final thesis, we recommend that you contact professional companies (e.g. copy shops).
