Overview

All printers of the institute are connected to a central print server, which logs and counts all print jobs. Before a print is sent to a printer, the system gets the page number and job settings, calculates the costs and checks permissions and credits for the sender. After a successful printing, the credits will be subtracted.

* Members of the institute are: Professors, Staff, Assistants (!PostDocs and !PhDs), Guests.

** Assistants need to refill the credit (for free) after printing 100 colored pages per semester.

*** Students with 'Hauptfach Mathematik' or "Hauptfach Bio Statistic" get free credits worth 20 SFr. per semester. An I-MATH account is required to print.

A printjob is counted based on page number, page format (A4 or A3), simplex or duplex and black/white or color.

Special settings like A3, color or stapling are only available on some special printers like jcolor, k.
