Please don't waste resources.

• Use the duplex (2-sided-print) function if possible
• Only print in color when you need color
• Activate toner saving mode (unless print quality is absolutely necessary)
• Use the "print preview" to check if the settings are correct
• Think before you print!

The printer pool is an area in the middle of the second floor of the ICT-Building. This page explains how to use the printers there.

The printers are only reachable via the IFI network, if you use WiFi please authenticate at https://fwauth-tech.uibk.ac.at/ and keep the tab open!
You will need a c-number for the Institute (c703….) to be able to print (not a cs-number)!

We currently have multiple types of paper at the Institute / IFI-Printer Pool.

Please pay attention to which paper is currently in the printer to avoid mixing up different paper types. The differences are subtle but noticeable when directly compared.

This is the default printer for fast monochrome text output. If you need advanced functionality like color printing or stapling you can install the Canon C5550i by following the steps further down on this page.
