Photocopying, Printing and Scanning Services

Information on how users can photocopy, print and scan items when using our libraries.

All UCL Libraries have Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) connected to a service called "print@UCL" which allows UCL staff and students to photocopy, print and scan.

UCL users: registering your ID card

UCL users need to register their UCL ID cards when using an MFD for the first time by following the procedure below:

1. Touch your card on the MFD reader.
2. Enter your UCL username in the format of: 'ucylxxx' or similar when prompted, and then press 'Done'.
3. Enter your UCL password and press 'Done'.
4. You have now successfully logged in and are presented with three options - 'Copy', 'E-mail' (scan) or 'Pull Print' (print).
5. To log out when you have finished, you must either touch your ID card again or hit the green button with a key symbol followed by the log out button on the display screen.
6. For all future sessions, you will only need to touch your UCL ID card on the MFD reader.
