Printing from Sunray Clients

Search

Readers may print from Sunray clients using Nashuatec copiers at the following library sites:

  • Main Library (Hauptbibliothek, HB, Erlangen) : 2 copiers
  • Economic and Social Sciences Branch Library (Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Zweigbibliothek, WSZB, Nuremberg)
  • Educational Science Branch Library (Erziehungswissenschaftliche Zweigbibliothek, EZB, Nuremberg)
  • Science and Technology Branch Library (Technisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Zweigbibliothek,TNZB,Erlangen)
  • Gruppenbibliothek Physik (09GP), also for Gruppenbibliothek Biologie (10GB)
  • Copy room at Kochstr. 4, ground floor (for the Sunray clients of the city centre library sites)

At HB, WSZB, EZB, and TNZB, the nearest copier will automatically be selected when a print order is submitted. Requests will be stored for 24 hours, during which they may be retrieved for printout. Payment may be made by cash or copycard, depending on the copier.

Individual print orders will be identified by the user numbers, which are transmitted automatically. Please note that only the last 8 digits of the 11-digit library user numbers are visible.

At all other library sites copiers need to be selected explicitly.

Further printing options

Some options such as page orientation, duplex printing or number of copies should be selected from the print options of the copier.

Another range of options can only be chosen from the print options of the Sunray stations (window "Print"):

Printing of text reduced in size so that several pages appear on one sheet of paper: " -o nup=2" for 2 normal pages per page, "-o nup= 4" for 4 per page.

  • Protecting individual files by a password: " -o password=1234", i.e. 4 digits that later need to be entered at the copier.
  • Naming files: " -t <file name> ".

Please note:

A blank space needs to be entered after the given " –c" of all printing options, i.e. "-c -o nup=4".
If you wish to print more than one file it is recommendable to select the whole range and print them all at once. Otherwise the printed files need to be unselected or deleted.
