Photocopiers
There are multifunction photocopiers on campus for student use. The photocopiers can be used for photocopying, scanning and printing. The photocopiers can be found in Tervahovi and Fabriikki buildings, as well as at the library in the Luotsi building.
Photocopying
To use a photocopier, you need to buy a photocopying card. They are for sale at the customer service desk in the library. The photocopying cards are marked with a Tritonia stamp on the back.
All photocopiers can be used to print duplex copies, but only the printer located in Tervahovi can print colour copies. You can also use the photocopiers to scan documents. You need a copying card to be able to scan, but scanning does not reduce your copying balance.
If you have any problems with the photocopiers or the paper has run out, contact the facility services at the information desk of the building in question. If you have any other issues, please contact the IT Services.
Printing
You can send print jobs to the photocopiers in Tervahovi and Fabriikki from the computer labs next to them using your print quota.
To print using the multifunction photocopier in the library, you must use your own computer or mobile device. There is a charge for printing.
