All the photocopiers in the University Library are equipped with a free scan function. Simply press the F4 key on the left of the photocopier's control panel. You can save your scans in one of two ways:

  • Save your scans to a USB thumb drive ("Scan to USB")
  • Send by e-mail ("Scan to Mail")

"Scan to USB"

  1. Place your LMUcard or Legic-Karte on the card reader, which you will find on the right-hand side of the copier.
  2. 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.

  4. Select the function "Print/Scan (Memory Storage Device)" on the touch screen.
  5. Place your original document on the platen (glass plate).
  6. Press the button "Scan to Storage Device" and press the start button.
  7. Please make sure to leave your USB connected to the device until the transfer is completed. The completion will be signaled with a message.
  8. As soon as scanning has finished, ensure you log out correctly using the logout button on the copier.
  9. 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.
