ISIMA Printers✯

The reprographic system of the institute is managed by a print management software: Papercut. It allows:

  • to control and monitor print jobs and costs

  • secure follow-me printing

  • enforce a printing policy

  • analyze printer usage

To print, authentication is mandatory (integration with the institute's Active Directory directory - your ENT identifier).

Students must first release their print jobs at the photocopier in room D013 and optionally at the one located in the hall of building A.

Note

Before printing anything, please consult the guide to good printing practices for all staff
