Printing Services at Palucca University of Dance
Target Group: Students and Staff
On campus, multifunction devices are available for copying and printing in DIN A4 and DIN A3 formats, as well as for scanning to emails, folders, and USB drives. For printing large-format documents up to DIN A0, please contact the Department of Strategic University Development/Communication.
Registration and Usage
To use the multifunction devices, a 4-digit PIN is required. Students receive their PIN at the university library and must top up their account with a fee to use the printing and copying functions. Scanning is free of charge. Note: Students can only use the multifunction device in Villa 80.
Tip: All multifunction devices are equipped with an NFC card reader. After logging in with your PIN, students can register their cafeteria card under the menu item "ID Card Registration". This allows login at the multifunction device using the cafeteria card.
Printing options are available at the internet-enabled workstations in the library rooms, which you can use during opening hours. The printer names in Windows are Pool_Bibliothek_CO (for color printing) and Pool_Bibliothek_SW (for black and white printing).
Scanned documents can be sent either to your personal Palucca email address or saved to a USB stick.

To use the multifunction devices, a 4-digit PIN is required. Staff members receive this PIN automatically via email. Depending on the organizational affiliation, staff receive a monthly printing budget for color and black-and-white printing. If this budget is insufficient, please contact the Organization/IT Department.
Tip: All multifunction devices are equipped with an NFC card reader. After logging in with your PIN, staff can register their transponder key under the menu item "ID Card Registration". This feature allows you to log in to all multifunction devices using the transponder key.
You can basically print from any workstation. The printer names in Windows and macOS are Pool_CO (for color printing) and Pool_SW (for black and white printing). Using your PIN or transponder key, you can then release and manage your print jobs at any multifunction device on campus (Follow-Me function).
Follow-Me-Print is a printing process where the print job is first queued centrally. The output only starts when you authenticate yourself at the printer on-site. This way, you can discard print jobs that are not collected or adjust the number of copies afterwards on the printer’s touch panel. At the same time, you will only see prints you are authorized for.
Scanned documents can be sent either to your personal Palucca email address, saved in the "Scans" folder on your personal H: drive, or saved to a USB stick.

Printing Portal
Additionally, a web portal for managing your print jobs is available at http://printserver.palucca.local:8080 (accessible only from the internal network or via the university's VPN). Here you can manage your balance (students only), modify and delete print jobs, and assign a new PIN. On the login page, please use your Palucca account as the username and your 4-digit PIN as the password/PIN.
