Printing and scanning for students at the FI MU Library – a temporary solution

During the temporary suspension of the student printing service, which was previously provided by the MU IT Centre, FI MU students can use a paid printing service at the FI library.

Files for printing in PDF format can be submitted via the application on the Faculty Administration portal (log in using your faculty username and password). At the library, simply tell the staff member your login or UČO, and whether you would like your files printed in black and white or in colour. Unlike the previous arrangement, the printer does not support A3 printing; only A4 is available. The cost is 1.50 Kč per black-and-white page and 8 Kč per colour page; payment is made by card.

By arrangement with the staff, you can also use the printer to photocopy or scan; scanned documents can be saved directly from the printer onto a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive.

All services are available only during the library’s opening hours.

PLEASE NOTE: the information from this point onwards is temporarily invalid.

In the library/study room (A105), there is a printer for both colour and black-and-white printing in A4 and A3 formats. Printing is carried out entirely by yourself without the assistance of anyone else. Payment for printing is made via your SUPO account, which must be activated and have a sufficient balance loaded onto it in advance (see also cashless top-up to your account).

You can then send the required document to print from your computer and, at the printer, use your ISIC card to start the printing process and collect the printed document. You can also check availability in advance.

Printing from computers in the hall and in the library

Printing from Windows – computers knih1, knih4, titan01 to titan20

A printer named PRINT MU is installed on machines knih1, knih4, titan01 to titan20. Simply send the required document to this printer.

Before sending the print job, please check carefully that all printer settings are configured to your requirements. Pay particular attention to whether you are printing in colour or black and white. Please note that if you send any print job as a colour print, SUPO will charge you the colour printing rate.
You need to open the printer properties to switch to black-and-white printing. For example, it is not sufficient simply to tick ‘Print in grayscale (black and white) ’ or ‘Print colour as black’ in the basic Adobe Reader print dialogue box.

After sending the print job, the SAFE-Q login window will appear; enter your UČO as the login and enter your secondary password. The printing process itself will only start once you have placed your ISIC card on the reader next to the printer. Do not switch off the printer after printing.

Printing from your own laptop

Printing from Windows

To print from your own laptop running the Windows operating system, you need to install the client for the SafeQ printing system – SafeQ client 32/64

Unzip the downloaded archive and run the script ‘printMU.cmd ’ located in the root directory of the unzipped archive. Confirm any UAC prompts during installation and, once completed, a printer named ‘PRINT MU’ will appear in the printer list. Restart your computer. The procedure is then the same as when printing from computers in the hall.

Printing from Linux

Download the SafeQ client for Linux; during installation, simply follow the instructions in the PDF included in the aforementioned archive. The server’s IP address for connection is 147.251.19.80 and the queue name is colour.

Scanning to email

The device offers a free scanning service, whereby scanned documents are sent as attachments to a specified email address. No ISIC card authentication is required for scanning; simply press the “scan” button on the left-hand side of the printer’s control panel.

On the printer’s main display, press “Manual Entry” and enter your email address. Then follow the on-screen instructions. To scan uncreased loose sheets, you can use the top manual feeder or the glass under the top cover of the printer.

You always start the scan itself by pressing the green button and then send the finished scan by pressing the cross button. You will immediately receive the scanned document as an email attachment; the printer does not notify you of this.

What to do if you have printing problems

Print jobs can be deleted after logging in to the print server at https://print.ucn.muni.cz/. To log in, use the same details as when printing, i.e. your UČO and secondary password. Select the ‘Job List’ menu, tick the jobs you wish to delete and, from the drop-down menu, select the ‘Cancel from Queue’ option. To log out, use the relevant button at the bottom left.

In the event of a paper jam, please contact the technicians at tech@fi.muni.cz .

If you experience any problems with the printer, please contact the administrator at tisk_support@ics.muni.cz .
