Notes for JGU-Employees
JGU employees can print and copy on the public printers/copiers for business purposes. Billing takes place via the ZDV-Shop or invoices are issued for employees of the University Medical Center.
The billing object/cost center is assigned to your JGU account. To log in to the copier, you need a card + PIN. This is basically the same as entering your user name and password, but is much quicker.
The billing object/cost center is assigned to your JGU account. To log in to the copier, you need an ID card + PIN.
Each user can have several accounts: One for paid-in credit and one or more billing objects/cost centers. The user can set which account is to be debited (the paid-in credit or a business account) at any time at https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto. Once set there, the selected setting for printing and copying applies until another setting is made!
Please note: The paid-in credit is always selected as the default!
For new employees
1. New employees submit an application for business printing/copying in order to have a payroll object/cost center assigned for copying for the first time. Link to the application (german only)
2. Make sure that the correct account (accounting object/cost center) is selected before using it for the first time: https://drucken.zdv.net/abrechnungskonto
3. Assign an ID card+PIN to your JGU account before using it for the first time at a Service Terminal in order to be able to log in to the copy machines. To find out how to assign an ID card+PIN, read HERE.
