== General Info ==
At '''ETZ-J66''' we maintain the D-ITET print shop called ETZSPEZ with modern devices and wide media and format coverage.

The print-queue is being processed automatically for all printers and prints are released by file-size, beginning with smaller ones first.

== VPP-Devices and VPP-Parameters ==
Available devices and some examples of commonly used values for applicable parameters.

These Parameters can only be set by hand when sending a print-job via the VPP-backend. Values can then be combined by adding a dot in between.

If you wish to print on semi-gloss paper, deliver the appropriate parameter. Processing time then is around 1 day.
||'''VPP-Parameter''' ||'''Value''' ||'''Effect''' ||
||Form ||A2, A1, A0 ||Use value as paper-size (implying that the document has the same size) ||
|| ||A0.scale(x) ||Scale the document up/down by factor x with paper-size A0 ||
|| ||A0.special(semigloss) ||Hold job back in queue until semi-gloss paper is loaded (min. 1d processing time) ||

== Paper Post-Processing ==
There is a poster cutting machine and a staple cutting machine in the room. Please follow the instructions as shown on the poster above the corresponding machine. As the staple cutter is a dangerous machine, you need to deposit your ID/Legi at ETL-F22 in order to get the key for it.

== Saving paper and costs ==
Before printing large jobs, do a test-print.

This makes sense for posters as well, test yours by printing it on A3 at X7760 first.
