The central printing, scanning, and copying devices (“FollowMe” printers) can only be used with your own transponder. This must be activated in advance by the IT department of your department (your secretary will arrange this as soon as you provide them with your FU account after starting work).

Location of the devices

The central FollowMe printers are located throughout the university. In the Institute of Sociology, there is one FollowMe printer in room 322 and another on the other side of the hallway in the copy room to the right of the elevator.

Instructions for use

Before using the FollowMe printers for the first time, you must authenticate yourself once at one of the devices. Instructions for this can be found here. For each subsequent use, you only need to activate the device by placing your transponder on it.

On work devices, the printer is usually installed with the name “FollowMe” as the default printer. If this is not the case, please open the following path in your Windows Explorer and click “Enter”: \\drucken.campus.fu-berlin.de\FollowMe

All employees can send print jobs to FollowMe printers from their own work devices and retrieve their prints from any device throughout the university.

Scanning is only possible if you have been approved for the internal institute networks, as scanned documents are sent to the network address of the transponder owner.
