Printing

Every student may print study-related material free of charge: max 200 pages on a black-and-white printer or max 100 pages on a color printer per semester (A4 size). A3 prints are limited to half of the above amounts. Note that printing on a color printer consumes twice as much of your balance, even if the pages are black and white!

At the beginning of each semester, each student is given a new printing balance and the balance of the previous semester is cleared.

Checking the balance

Students can check their balance using a web browser on a campus computer. The service will ask for your username and password. You can also see your balance when you log in to a multifunction device to print.

Adding more balance

If the balance is zero, printing is prevented. If the balance is about to run out and you still should print study materials, you have to appeal to the Helpdesk for more balance. With your appeal there must be an explanation why your printing balance has not been sufficient. According to management group's decision, students' printing is monitored. Information about every print is saved to a database.

Printers

Black-and-white printers are available for students in all campus libraries. In Pasila, black-and-white printers are also available in rooms 3210, 3010 and 4010.

Color printers for students are on Pasila campus, in classrooms 4203, 4204 and 5010. Please note that printing to a color printer spends your balance four times more than printing to a black-and-white printer. If you are printing your thesis for instance, it is recommended that you print only the color pages to a color printer and the black-and-white pages to a black-and-white printer.

In Pasila, if the paper has run out, you can find more in front of the room 5009.

If you need to install another printer, please see the instructions.
