Operating Instructions for Service Terminals

Assigning an ID card or Intrakey

This option is now only used very rarely. This applies to cards that are already in circulation or the intrakey of employees. Students who are new to JGU no longer receive cards.

  1. At the service terminal, click on Assign Card (Karte zuordnen).
  2. You will be asked to use your JGU account to sign in.
  3. Then you will receive a notification that the card has been assigned to your JGU account.

Assigning a different card

If you would like to assign another card to your JGU account (if you lost the original card, etc), repeat the process described above. Choose Assign Card (Karte zuordnen) at the service terminal, hold the new card up to the card reader, and sign in with your JGU account. After signing in, you will be asked if you would like to overwrite the previous assignation.

If you click Yes, the new card will be assigned to your JGU account.

Important Information: A JGU account can only be assigned one card.

If you try assigning a card which is already registered to another account, the machine will notify you.

A card already assigned to a JGU account can only be assigned to another account when it is “free” again. This happens when the card holder assigns themselves another card or removes the card from their JGU account.

Removing the card from your JGU account

If you want to remove a card from your JGU account without assigning a new one (e.g. when you have finished your studies), choose Remove Assignation (Zuordnung entfernen) at the service terminal. The assignation will then be annulled.

Stocking up your printing credit

Printing and copying is paid for using the printing account associated with your JGU account. As a student, you receive a ZDV bonus of 1.50 € per semester, everything exceeding that amount is your responsibility. In order to be able to pay for more print/copy jobs, you can transfer money from your Studicard to your printing account at a service terminal (prior to that, you need to have deposited money into your Studicard account). In order to transfer money from your Studicard to your printing account, choose Transfer to Printing Account (Druckguthaben aufbuchen) at a service terminal and hold your ID card up to the card reader. Then enter your PIN. After that, you will be asked to hold your Studicard up to the grey card reader if you have not already done so.

Now you can view the credit available on the Studi card (1), the balance on your printing account (2) and the balance from the ZDV bonus for students (3).

In order to transfer money from the card to the printing account, click on the desired amount. By clicking several times, you can add the amounts. The sum will be shown in the line Sum (Betrag).

If your Studicard doesn’t cover the desired amount, you will be notified.

Making corrections: In order to re-enter the amount (applicable also when you have mistyped and would like to correct the amount), click on the yellow X in front of the sum (Betrag).

When the correct amount has been entered, click on Enter (Buchen) on the right. The amount will be transferred onto your printing account immediately.

You will be shown the new balance as a control measure.

Change your PIN

 

Transferring money back to your Studicard

If you need to transfer money from your printing account back to your Studicard (if you have finished your studies, etc.), you can use the button Reverse Transfers (Geld rückbuchen)

Hold your ID card up to the card reader when you are asked to, then enter your PIN. Log in with your JGU account and place the Studicard on the grey card reader.

You will be shown the JGU account balance for the money you paid into your JGU account.

If you choose Ok here, the complete balance will be paid back onto your Studicard.

Important Information: Transferring back a partial balance is not possible. Transferring the ZDV balance is also not possible.

After transferring the money successfully, you will receive a notification:

Don/’t forget to take your card(s) with you!
