Printers

• Printing to institutes printers are only possible:
  • by using one of the institutes terminals, or
  • by using the institutes LAN (yellow cable or a port with a yellow point), or
  • by using the institutes WLAN 'IMATH'.
• Printernames are on stickers on the printer. In general, they are named like the offices, public printers like the floors.
• Special printer PDF (only available by using a terminal): The PDF files will be saved directly in your home directory, named 'output.pdf'.
