Copiers, scanners, printers

Multi-function printer-copiers can be found in the collection area of the Central Library and in the rooms adjacent to all reading rooms. These printer-copiers can make colour and double-sided prints and copies.

Printer-copier balance on the CampusCard
If you have a CampusCard, you can use that for the networked copiers, scanners and printers of the University. The copy/scan/print balance is stored separately from the refectory balance on the card and can be topped up at any of the special terminals next to the multifunction copiers (e. g. in the Central Library collection area).

Guest cards
If you do not have a CampusCard, you can obtain a guest card for a EUR 10.00 deposit for use with the printer-copiers from the visitors' card machine in the refectory foyer.

There are no coin-operated copiers on campus!

Please ensure that you abide by the licensing conditions for our electronic offerings and the German copyright law.

There are scanner-printers in the collection area of the Central Library and in the rooms adjacent to the reading rooms.

You can send your own documents, Passau Search Portl saved search results, as well as database output, e-journals and e-books to the printer-copiers from any (notebook) computer connected to the University computer network by Wi-Fi or wired connection, or from one of two specially designated research workstations in the Central Library.

Step 1: Send a print job

from a computer connected to the University's computer network (by cable or Wi-Fi), e.g. a notebook computer or a PC in a computer room or office.

• Install the 'Campus-Drucker' printer driver: this only needs to be done once; the PCs in the computer rooms already have this installed. Information on the campus printers
• In the print... dialog choose 'Campus-Drucker' as the printer.
• Check the paper format and orientation in Properties/Einstellungen, 'Basis' tab, and the colour setting (monochrome, greyscale, truecolor) in the 'Quality'/'Qualität' tab.
• Enter your CampusCard's or guest card's number (omitting the leading letter) and click on the green tick mark button.

Step 2: Initiate the print-out at the printer-copier

• Go to any of the 'Campus-Drucker' printer-copiers – please note that only specially marked printers can make colour prints ('Farbdruck').
• Insert your Mensacard, then use the arrow keys to select 'Drucken' and confirm by pressing the tick mark key.
• You will be shown the queued print jobs, which should include the one you sent in step 1.
• Choose the document you want to print using the arrow keys and press the tick mark key to start printing.
• You can retrieve your Mensacard at any time by pressing the door/exit key.
• Please note that print jobs are deleted from the system after 24 hours or when the print has been completed.

The system uses a points-based system to account for prints and copies:

• 1 black & white A4 print or copy: 1 point
• 1 colour A4 print or copy: 4 points
• A3 formats = 2×A4

1 point is equivalent to 5 euro-cents.
