FAQ: Printing, copying and scanning
Where and how can I scan?
In total ten state-of-the-art book scanners are available in the Main Library Adolf-Reichwein-Straße (AR) and in the Branch Libraries Hölderlinstraße (H), Paul-Bonatz-Straße (PB) and Unteres Schloss (US).
In the Main Library AR there are seven book scanners, including four devices for A2 formats and one barrier-free scanner. Here, the touch screen is located next to the device. This scanner is located on level -1 in the Main Library AR.
In the Branch Libraries H, PB, and US there is one scanner at each of the libraries. In the Branch Library H the scanner can also scan A2-formats, and in the Branch Library US large format scans can be done by library staff.
Scanning is free of charge for all library users. Please bring your own memory stick (max. 16 GB, format FAT 32).
Where and how can I print?
Printing is available at the Main Library AR and the Branch Libraries H, PB and US. You have to bring your own paper, but it can also be purchased at the circulation desks at the price of 25 cents per 5 sheets. The printing itself is free to library users.
Where and how can I copy?
Coin-operated copiers are available in Branch Libraries H and PB. Copies can be made here for 5 cents per page.
There is no other possibility to copy books or documents within the University. External service providers can be used for copying documents.
What happened to the old printing and copying system?
The multifunction devices (printing/copying/scanning) from the company UTAX have been dismantled in 2022.
The black-and-white printers have been decoupled from the previous billing system and can continue to be used by library users (Where can I print?).
In order to sustainably reduce paper consumption, users are asked to switch to the existing state-of-the-art book scanners to secure printed materials.
What can I do with my previous prepaid card and how does the return at the ZIMT work??
Previous prepaid cards can continue to be used for lockers at the Main Library AR and the branch library US.
Previous prepaid cards can also be returned to ZIMT until September 30th, 2026.
