Equipment
Printer
You can print out documents for your own use in almost all of FH Aachen's buildings. To do so, please use the printing stations of the library.
Upload a Document
In the first step, upload your document as a PDF file. You can use the PDF-Upload from any location.
In the Boxgraben and Bayernallee libraries, you have the option of printing in the A3 format. The PDF document must already be saved in A3 format before uploading.
Adjusting the Print Job
In the second step, log in with your FH Identifier at one of the printing stations listed below. You then have the option of adjusting your print job (e.g. black and white or colour, double-sided,...). Before printing, you will be shown the exact amount charged for the print job.
Paying for the Print Job
Once you submit the print job, the print fee will be charged to your library account. Pay your print fees immediately after completing the print job. You have the following options:
- Cashless, with your FH Karte at the payment station
- For amounts of € 5 or more, by bank transfer to the FH Aachen account:
IBAN DE11 3905 0000 1070 8591 43 | BIC: AACSDE33 | reference line: your FH Identifier and your name - In cash, during the service hours in your branch library

Please note
The printing station is suitable for printing something for your own use. We cannot guarantee scale accuracy, colour fastness or ink coverage. If you need high quality printouts, for example for presentations or your final thesis, we recommend that you use professional companies (e.g. copy shops).
Scanners
Book Scanner
In all our libraries, book scanners are available to you for free, autonomous use. They are suitable for the careful and quick scanning of books and journal volumes.
In the Bayernallee and Boxgraben libraries, you can scan up to DIN A2 format, in the Eupener Straße and Jülich libraries up to DIN A3 format.
Bring a USB stick with you to save the scanned documents.
Use the operating instructions on site directly at the device.
Flatbed Scanner
Each of our libraries has a flatbed scanner at your disposal. When connected to one of our user computers, you can scan documents up the size of DIN A4.
Use the operating instructions on site directly at the device.
Feed Scanner
Each of our libraries is equipped with a feed scanner allowing you to quickly and conveniently scan single A4 documents as well as batches of documents.
Bring a USB stick with you to save the scanned documents.
Use the operating instructions on site directly at the device.

Self-Service
During opening hours, you can borrow and return media all by yourself. All you need is your FH Karte and your PIN. Your PIN is preset to your date of birth DDMM and can be changed in your library account.
Please place your media on the glass top of the self-service terminal. The bookings are made automatically and are shown to you on the display.
No FH Karte is required when returning media items.
After the booking has been completed, you will receive your booking voucher either as a printout or by email.
Borrowing media via the self-service terminal is not possible...
- for media from the non-lending collection
- for media from course reserves
- for media borrowed via interlibrary loan
- if your library account has been blocked
In the above cases, please consult the staff at the circulation desk.

- Insert carefully! Please place books with their spine facing downwards into the slot.
- Do not drop off interlibrary loans, keys or oversized media.
- You will not receive a receipt at the return box.
