There are approximately 65 printers, multifunction devices and plotters on the Cesena Campus, enabling students to print and staff to print, copy and scan.
The system is managed with print-management software that allows printing costs to be monitored.
Each user is allocated printing credits, according to user category and the policies of the relevant departments.
Every print job has a “cost” in credits. Once your credits are used up, you can no longer print.
The cost varies by format and colour, as follows:
| SHEET (side) |
COST (in credits) |
| A4 B/W | 1 |
| A3 B/W | 2 |
| A4 Colour | 4 |
| A3 Colour | 8 |
Plotter printing is for the exclusive use of students and staff of the Department of Architecture. The cost is calculated per 10 cm of print length and is set at 4 credits.
To check your credits and request a refund for prints that were sent but not completed due to technical issues, see the page Printing credits — Refund and Balance Check.
To install printers on your PC, please refer to the instructions (in italian) for the main operating systems.
Below is the key information for students and staff.
Information for students
Students on the Cesena Campus and Erasmus+ students may print using the Campus printers dedicated to them. The detailed list is in the Annexes section. Paper is also provided.
Each student is allocated 500 printing credits per year, valid from 1 September to 31 August of the following year. Credits do not carry over from one year to the next; on 1 September each year, the system automatically resets the balance to 500 credits.
An exception applies to students on the Architecture degree programme, for whom, at the Department’s request, credits are allocated in two half-year tranches: 250 credits on 1 September and 250 credits on 15 February.
Students enrolled in single learning activities are entitled to an annual allowance of 100 credits.
In this case, they must request it by sending an email to acce.stampe@unibo.it.
For credits to be assigned correctly, your first print job must be sent from a Campus laboratory computer.
A printing service is also available for students in the study rooms.
This service is managed separately from the Campus service described above, and information is available on the page Study Rooms - Cesena Campus.
Information for staff
Technical and administrative staff have unlimited credits.
For faculty staff, researchers and collaborators, printing-credit management is defined according to the arrangements set by each Department. For full details, see the documentation available in the Annexes section.
