Direct access to printers

This should not be used - but if you have troubles using the pool:

B/W Laser Printer HP 3015 DN
Location Corridor
IP 138.232.64.173
B/W Laser Printer HP LJ 2430
Location Corridor
IP 138.232.66.226

There is no direct access to the color printer. You have to use the pool configuration.

Scanning and Copying Documents

Use the big Printer/Scanner on the back left end by the printer pool.

For the UserID and PIN ask at the secretariat.

You can scan either to an usb-key or send you an e-mail. The menu should be self-explaining.
