You can use Arcada's copy machines to print, scan and copy.

The copy machines in Arcada are equipped with RFID readers for easy login. The readers work with most RFID chips but do not work with your mobile key.

The first time you log in using RFID you will need to provide your Arcada username and password, after this you can use your RFID key to identify yourself.

Students are required to purchase credits in order to be able to print using the copy machines, credits can be purchased from the Arcada student union ASK in the Cor house.
Students can use the copy machines in blocks D3, E3 and next to the library (also A3 format).

If you have problems printing from your personal laptop we recommend saving the file to OneDrive and printing from an Arcada computer.

NB! Arcada IT-support can not help you with software- or driver installations on your personal devices!

  1. Go to your home folder -> Library -> Keychains
  2. Open the file login.keychain
