Reprographic services in the PC lab (print, copy, scan)
Reprographic services are available in a limited mode:
- Multipurpose copy machines remain available for self-service copying, scanning, and printing*.
- During the whole operation with the machine, the user is obliged to use prepared disposable gloves.
- If the situation permits it, the user should send the documents to print from their device via the web interface on myq.ff.cuni.cz, alternatively print directly from their USB flash drive (always in PDF format), thus, avoiding the necessity to use a shared library’s PC.

- A user’s self-reliance is anticipated when operating with the copy machines. The service and assistance possibility from the library will be restricted.
