1. Preface
 
 
Printing is only possible and permitted using the printing accounting method. For this purpose there are printers
in the library available around-the-clock.
The charging fee for the usage of the printer amounts to 5 cents for a b/w page and 50 cent for a colored page
(copier). Regarding printing the university management board has defined the following accounting system:
 
1. A printer account is assigned to the individual network profile of each student in order to charge the printing
fees. Each student of academic degree courses will be provided with one-time credit balance of 25 EUR (500 b/w
pages) as soon as the account is created.
 
2. The activation of this printer account is effected by approving the direct debiting, which is available at the
Online-Campus. The fees are debited from a bank account specified by the student for direct debit mandate or
alternatively by making out an invoice.
 
3. The printer account can be charged by using the online form at the Online-Campus under My Profile ->
Printing. When ordering printing and copier credit it is possible to choose the desired amount: 5 Euro, 10 Euro,
20 Euro or 50 Euro.

 
2. Requirements
 
 
The printer accounting can be used only with a valid student card and a workplace identifier. The student card has
to be one-time registered directly on the printer by placing it upon the reading device of the printer and logging in
with the workplace identifier and the respective password afterwards.

Your workplace identifier is stored in Campus Online Portal under “My Profile -> Login data workstation”. Please
do set a password for your workplace identifier at this point, if you have not already done so.

3. Printing, scanning and copying
 
 
For printing, scanning and copying there are printers in the library available for you around-the-clock. The scan jobs
can be sent to your personal e-mail address as well. In order to do that, please go to the “Main Menu” on printer
screen and select the function “Scan and Send -> New Recipient -> e-mail”.
 
There are following options for printing:
 
- Mobile Printing
enables the users to send print jobs to the network printer of the Frankfurt School via e-mail, irrespective
of the place of location. A manual related to this issue is available at the Online-Campus under Inform
-> IT Information -> Information about printing -> Mobile Printing.
- USB Printing
You can also print the documents stored on your USB memory stick directly on the printer. Unlock the
printer screen by using your student card and use the USB port on the right side of the printer to connect
your USB memory stick.
- FollowMe Printing
enables the users to send print jobs to the network printer and pick up the printouts using the student
card, irrespective from which network computer in the Financial Lab Room.
 
 
 
 
4. Error Messages
 
 
If your printer account does not have sufficient credit you will receive a corresponding error message
from the print-, respectively file server. In this case, your print job will be removed from the printer queue.
However, if at this moment you have not established a direct link to the corresponding server you may not
receive an error message. Thus, if your print job doesn’t result in printouts and the print queue no longer
shows your print job, please make sure that your account has sufficient credit or is enabled for printing on
credit.
 
 
Please note that the adjustment of the printer account may be slightly delayed.

To avoid damages to the printers, please use only the paper provided. Overhead transparencies must be suitable for
laser printing; else the printers will be destroyed by them.
