You can digitalize documents in a self-service manner, due to the special book scanners. Using the scanners, up to 30 pages per minute can be scanned without the need to stretch the books on a glass plate, thus saving the spine. The software automatically straightens the pages after laser scanning. The device enables digitisation of documents up to A3 size and has a character recognition function so that scanned content can be saved not only as images but also as editable text.

By purchasing a print & copy card, you can copy and print independently from the standing terminal.
You can buy print & copy card at different values and with different discounts at the information desk (ground floor).
The terminal (in the Lobby) allows you to make monochrome (grayscale) and color copies locally.
