Charges | Colour copier locations | Creating a print job | Printing your print job | Data security and data protection
Cloud Printing lets you submit a print job from an end device to any of the photocopiers at the LMU or in the University Library on which this function has been enabled. You can then go to any such enabled copier to print your job. A charge will be made for this service. You can print a wide variety of file formats, such as Office documents, PDFs and images.
Use the number on your LMUcard (number of the Students Services Office) or Legic-Karte as ID when submitting or printing your print job. Payment for the printed copies will also be processed via your LMUcard or Legic-Karte.
Photocopiers offering Cloud Printing are designated by a special sticker.

Creating a print job
You can submit your print jobs in one of 3 different ways.
Please note: Before using Cloud Printing for the first time, place your LMUcard or Legic card on the card reader, which you will find on the right-hand side of the copier. The active card ID and the credit will be loaded into the cloud. Then log out and send your print jobs in one of the ways described below.
Upload your documents via the webpage
- Click on the link www.printservice.lmu.de or scan the following QR-Code:
- Enter the numerals contained in the number on your LMUcard or Legic-Karte, omitting the letters and the blank at the beginning.
- Click on "Anmeldung" (login).
- Click on "Durchsuchen" (browse) and select the file you want to print.
- Finally click on "weiter" (next). Wait until "zum Drucken bereit" (ready to print) is displayed next to the print job and log out using the log-out button in the top right-hand corner.
Upload your documents from a mobile device using the app
- Download the app "Everyone Print" from the App Store or Google Play.
- Start the app.
- Select the tab "Settings". In the field "Port" enter the text "printservice.lmu.de:9444".
- Press "Test connection", then "Save".
- Now select the "Account" tab. Enter the numerals contained in the number on your LMUcard or Legic-Karte in the field "Username", omitting the letters and the blank at the beginning. In the "Password" field enter "lmu".
- The app can now be accessed from any application. For example, if you want to upload a photo from your mobile phone, tap the Share button. You will find a button "Everyone Print" listed among the sharing services for the photo.
- Your end device will now switch automatically to the app. The message "Document printing" will be displayed, followed by " Document printed OK". This completes the process.
Upload documents for direct printing on campus
- This service is available at all public computers within the University Library.
- Open the file you want to print out.
- Choose the option "Drucken" (print) as normal.
- Enter the required number of copies and adjust the settings (e.g. double-sided prints, landscape format)
- In the list of printers select "Q-Pilot".
- Click on "Drucken" (print).
- Enter the numerals contained in the number on your LMUcard or Legic-Karte in the field "Kartennummer" (card number), omitting the letters and the blank at the beginning. Click on "Weiter" (next).
Settings of the print job
Please note that when uploading a print job via the webpage or the mobile app, you cannot set specific printing preferences (such as double-sided printing, brightness, contrast, or colour vs. black and white printing) – neither via the website or app, nor at the printer itself.
Embedding fonts
If you use a font not included in the Office programmes and you want your printed document to look exactly as it does on the computer, you will need to embed the font. This option is available in most of the Office programmes.top
Printing your print job
- Place your LMUcard or Legic-Karte on the card reader, which you will find on the right-hand side of the copier.
- The amount of credit on the card will be checked and activated for the system. Please leave your LMUcard or Legic-Karte on the card reader during the entire printing procedure, including the final logout.
- Select the function "Print" on the touch screen
- When a list of documents appears on the touch screen select the one you want to print.
- Change the print options if you wish. The following settings can be changed:
- number
- black and white, or colour
- simplex or duplex
- To print, press the green button.
- As soon as printing has finished, ensure you log out correctly using the logout button on the copier.
- When the display shows that the remaining credit has been booked back to your LMUcard or Legic-Karte, please remove your Card from the card reader. Please note: To ensure credit is booked back correctly, please do not remove your LMUcard or Legic-Karte from the card reader until the logout procedure has been completed. If necessary replace your LMUcard or Legic-Karte on the card reader.
You will find illustrated instructions on the wall poster near each of our photocopiers.

Data security and data protection
Storing and deleting print jobs
All print jobs are stored on a server in the computer centre within Department VI of the University's Central Administration The server is administered by the company Ricoh. The data are processed in the Münchner Wissenschaftsnetz (Munich Academic Network). The print jobs are deleted following printing. If you do not print out your print job it will be deleted automatically after 3 days.
Data encryption
Each individual print job is transmitted over an encrypted internet connection and is stored in encrypted form on both the server and the photocopier. The print job can only be accessed and decrypted following authentication using the associated Legic-Karte.
