Institute Copy Card (earlier Multi User Card)

Institute copy cards can be shared. They can be kept in the office, for example, where they can be borrowed and returned.

These cards are preconfigured by us, i.e., they are permanently linked to a PIN and a billing object/cost center. We register one person for these cards. This person is responsible for the card.

It is not possible to print on public devices with institute copy cards. The print and copy center cannot be used and users cannot view the transactions made with the cards themselves. Only the person registered as the administrator for the cards can do this. Scan2Seafile cannot be used with a multi-user card either. You need a personal print and copy account for this.

The application form for institute copy cards can be found HERE.

Notes on Printing and Copying for Employees

JGU employees can print and copy for work purposes on public printers/copiers. For billing purposes, transactions are transferred via the Data Center shop or invoices are issued (for employees of the University Medical Department).

The billing object/cost center is assigned to your JGU account. To log in to the copier, you need an ID card and PIN. This is basically the same as entering your username and password, but it is much faster.

Abbildung: Abrechnungsobjekt/Kostenstelle wird dem JGU-Account zugeordnet. Die Karte dient zur Identifikation.
The billing object/cost center is assigned to your JGU account. To log in to the copier, you need an ID card and PIN.

Each user can have multiple accounts: one for paid credit and one or more billing objects/cost centers. Users can set which account should be charged (paid credit or a business account) at any time at https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto. Once set there, the selected setting applies to printing and copying until another setting is made!

Please note: The paid credit balance is always selected as the default setting!

For new Employees

1. New employees must submit a request for official printing/copying in order to have a billing object/cost center assigned for copying for the first time. Link to the request

2. Before using the service for the first time, make sure that the correct account (billing object/cost center) is selected: https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto

3. Before using a service terminal for the first time, assign an ID card+PIN to your JGU account so that you can log in to the copiers. You can read how to assign an ID card+PIN HERE(german only).

Small FAQ

Yes. This is not a problem, as the card is only used to identify the user when logging in to the devices (printer/copier). The credit balance on the card is not affected. You must specify which account is debited (the cost center or the credit paid into the print account itself) at https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto.

No, this is not necessary, as the information about the billing object/cost center is not assigned to the card, but to the JGU account. However, you must specify which account will be charged (which cost center or individual credit balance) before sending a print job at https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto.

Employee accounts become inactive after a certain period of time following departure (depending on the type of employment; for fixed-term contracts, this is at the end of the contract). This also deactivates printing and copying privileges. However, you can also inform us of the departure, in which case the privileges for the relevant cost center/billing object can be actively deleted. To do so, the person responsible for copy cards at your institute simply needs to send an email to kopierer@uni-mainz.de, stating the relevant JGU account and the billing object/cost center.

If you change jobs within the university, your account will normally remain active. Please inform us when you leave so that we can delete your printing and copying permissions for the relevant billing object/cost center.

This message appears when the credit account is selected for payment but there is insufficient credit for the current job. Employees normally print/copy via a billing object/cost center, but there is also the option of depositing credit yourself. This is preselected by default. Before using the new billing system for the first time, you must therefore select an assigned billing account in the Print and Copy Center (https://drucken.zdv.net) via the Account Selection menu item. Only then will the selected account be debited when copying.

Notes on Malfunctions and Multiple Jobs

If several identical/similar jobs are not sent due to a problem (e.g., toner empty, paper empty, paper jam), please delete the jobs that are still in the queue. You can cancel them on the device itself. This ensures that they are not automatically printed as soon as the problem is resolved (e.g., refilling toner or paper).

Data Center takes over Services of the JGU Main Printing Office

In future, services provided by the JGU main printing office will be taken over by the Data Center.

This includes, in particular, the printing of exams, seminar documents, brochures, and flyers.

The printing office team and the Data Center are currently preparing for the upcoming move.

Until the final takeover at the end of the year, the printing office will continue to be available at its familiar address (Johann-Joachim-Becher-Weg 1).

Further information is also currently available on the main printing office website:
https://www.verwaltung.zentrale-dienste.uni-mainz.de/zentraldruckerei/

Important Changes to the Poster Printing Service

The process for ordering posters at the Data Center (ZDV) was significantly simplified in mid-May 2025. The following changes have been made to this service:

We are simplifying terms and making collection easier

Before you order a poster, first clarify whether you want to pay with your official print and copy account or with an institute copy card (formerly multi-user card). You can select one of these payment accounts on the order page.

  • Institute copy card: In future, we will call the multi-user card the institute copy card.
  • Buisness print and copy account: This refers to your institution's print and copy account. Your institution pays for the job.
  • Privately deposited credit: You pay for the poster from your privately deposited credit.

You will receive an e-mail when your poster is ready. You can then collect it from the ZDV hotline. You no longer need a copy card for this, as payment is made automatically via the previously selected payment account.

Prior registration required

An essential prerequisite for printing posters or business cards in the ZDV is registration in the ZDV Shop. As long as you are not registered, you will not be able to order posters. Please register in good time so that we can process your orders as quickly as possible:
https://www.en-zdv.uni-mainz.de/application-for-business-printing-and-copying/

Ordering posters and support

Simply order posters at https://poster.zdv.uni-mainz.de/
If you have any questions, please contact the ZDV secretariat (zdv-office@uni-mainz.de ).

Application for Business Printing and Copying

New employees who wish to print for business purposes at the university must first submit an application via a billing object/cost center.

  1. Download: Application for business printing and copying on public devices
  2. We will make the desired assignment. This can take 2-3 days.
  3. The applicant selects the requested accounting object/cost center at https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto.
  4. Save your entry. The setting is valid until you make another setting.

Note: This process is currently being revised and will be available digitally in approx. 2 months.
