Credit System
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.

Booklets
Printers / Copiers 'jcolor' and 'kcolor' are capable to fold and stamp printouts to create booklets / brochures.
- Mulitple Copies: DO NOT USE 'copies' (print dialog or via commandline '-n num-copies'). Instead use 'Repeat jobs' under advanced options.
- Up to 16 sheets of paper can be stitched! If you have more they only get folded.
- Printing booklet with only folding (no stamps), might produce outputs where the single folded sheets of paper are one by one and not inserted into each other.
