Copy, scan and print

For members of the University of Rostock

Smart cards can only be issued to staff and students with a valid and activated University of Rostock user account and should be requested via the smart card portal.
The cards are posted by the IT and Media Centre (ITMZ).

You can register directly at a multifunction device in the University of Rostock’s printing/copying system.
Select the "Log in with PIN" option. In the input field, first enter your username (user ID, e.g., ab1234) and then the full card number without spaces, e.g., ab12340005678.

Once you have registered, you can top up your card. This can only be done via cashless payment at the designated terminals. You can find the terminals at the following locations:

Main Building, Am Universitätsplatz 1, Ground Floor, Room 020 (next to machine no. 78)
Campus Library Südstadt, Albert-Einstein-Str. 6, 1st floor, Room 120

Print jobs can be uploaded via a web client. Access the web client and select the "Log in with PIN" option. In the input field, first enter your username (user ID, e.g., ab1234) and then your full card number without spaces (e.g., ab12340005678). You can then retrieve the print jobs on the multi-function devices using your chip card.

Alternatively, documents can be printed directly from a library computer by selecting "UNI Drucker" during the printing process. UNI Drucker is also available on your own devices via the application server. The document will then appear in the multi-function-device’s print queue.

At the coin-operated copiers, you also have the option to print directly from a USB flash drive.

Please follow the instructions on the ITMZ "Anleitungen" page on how to install the university printers.
If you are working on the application server, you are automatically logged in with your user ID, and all printer drivers are already installed.

After using the scan function, the files can be downloaded from the web client within 72 hours.
Please note: The documents will be automatically deleted after 72 hours!

Prices and locations of the freely accessible printers can be found on the ITMZ page "Standorte/Preise/Aufladen" (in German).
Please note that color printers automatically print in color unless you select "Black and White" on the touch panel before printing!

Information about registration and passwords can be found on the ITMZ page "Passwort im Drucksystem" (in German).
