All departmental libraries provide several copiers at your disposal. These machines are designed to print as well. The colour copiers include a scanning feature as well. Starting from the general siteplan you can determine the actual placements of the machines in the respective floor plans.
The copy machines allow individual scaling up or down, double-sided copying and most of them allow colour copying and scanning as well. Scanned documents will be available as a file in the download area of the Service Center Druck & Kopie website for 48 hours at the most. Printed user guides can be found at each copy machine, electronic versions are provided on the Service Center Website, in the selection menu filed under "Scannen" or "Kopieren".
The b/w copiers do not provide the scan feature! If you encounter problems, please refer directly to the "Service Center Druck & Kopie" personnel (office room U1-132, hours: Mon - Fri, 9:00 - 17:00 hrs).
Each departmental library and the Special Reading Room have been equipped with special book copiers ("Bookeyes"). These machines enable gentle copying of books in particular by scanning from above. Scanned pages can be printed out directly on a connected printer located alongside (b/w, size DIN A4). A printed user guide is provided.
In the foyer of the law library a special shelf was put up, where current editions of relevant books are arranged and tied with chains. These books cannot be taken away for copying etc. For this reason the library has installed a scanning machine right in front of the shelf in order to enable users to scan pages and save them to a memory stick. The handling is simple and free of charge.
You may choose between the options colour, gray-scale and black-and-white (text scans). Colour and gray-scale scans will automatically be saved in JPG format, text scans in TIF format.

You can top-up your card there or at the cash desks in the cafeteria or the Westend restaurant. For purchasing temporary Service Center cards (copy-only), refer to the copy shop, the vending machines in the foyers of the Law and the Literary Studies/Linguistics Library (U1 and C1). In the Law Library you will also find a coin changing machine.
Before you use your card for the first time, you have to register it initially at any card reading device of any copy machine.
The formerly issued paper copycheck cards have become invalid on 01 July 2008. Any remaining balance cannot be transferred to your Service-Card or paid cash.
Of course we will continue to provide coin-operated copiers (price: 5 Cent per DIN A4 page). These machines do not allow colour copying though.
