Overview-Print

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.

    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.
