Access to PC-Pools is possible during the opening hours of the Department  by using the FAUcard to unlock the electronic locking system.

Unlocking the FAUcard at the Department of Mathematics is done by Mr. Bayer (Room 01.330), by Mrs. Zintchenko (Room 01.342). Therefore a certificate of enrollment is needed.

Old Mensacards don’t work.

For Duplex/double-sided-printing select the therefore intended option in the respective option-menue (e.g. evince, okular, etc).

• “evince datei.pdf”: Print -> Page Setup ->Two-sided: Long Edge

Attention: The documentviewer acroread is not recommended, because of the huge amount of defects whilst starting programs, saving or printing. Better choices are okular or evince for opening and printing of PDFs. Instruction on how to change the standard PDF-viewer exists here.

Printing transparent sheets is possible on the Lexmark-Drucker (here).

Canceling and viewing printing jobs is possible.

On the menu bar, click on the Ubuntu symbol to open the Dash. Use the search bar to look for „printers“. Click on the printer symbol – a window will open with all the available printers. In the menu bar click on printer „Printer“. A drop menu will appear. Select „View Print Queue“. A window with a list of all the printjobs will open. By selecting your own printjob, you are able to delete it.
