    Printouts and copies

    If you want to print or copy, you must pay in advance. You log in to the print portal where you load your account with the selected amount (50, 100 or 200 SEK) by paying with your credit card. Select "Add Credits" in the menu and follow the guide. You can also deposit money on your print account at the Service centre or the campus library. The minimum amount you can deposit into the system is 20 SEK.

    The printing system is a so-called "FollowMe printing" solution. This means that instead of sending your document to a pre-selected printer, your printout is stored centrally until you go to the printer where you wish to collect it and log in using your Miun card. Instructions on how to use the printers will be available where the printers are located.
