[https://hjelp.uib.no/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/service?unid=98b23339b7b04d72a5b6370ccbbe372d Information about this is now found in UiBhjelp.]
|hdr=The Mprint is at this time undergoing testing.
|msg=We plan to launch the service at the start of the autumn term 2014. Until then, this information must be considered not authoritative.
Changes may occur without notice during the test period.
 
 
The Mprint service allows you to send print jobs to printers at UiB from all sorts of devices.
 
[[File:systemoversikt-2.png|600px]]
 
Print jobs may be sent in two ways: Through the [https://mprint.uib.no mprint.uib.no web page] or as [mailto:mprint@uib.no email to mprint@uib.no].
 
The print jobs you have sent may be printed on any Ricoh printer with [[Pullprint]] on UiB, where you swipe your card and print as usual in the [[Pullprint]] system.
 
The print jobs will be printed in black and white, double-sided.
 
These file/document types can be printed:
* Microsoft Office documents (DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT and PPTX)
* Open Office documents (ODT, ODS and ODP)
* PDF
* Plain text (TXT)
* Rich text format (RTF)
* Image files in the formats JPG, GIF*, PNG, BMP and TIFF
 
(* Please be aware that animated GIF files will be printed as multiple images.)
 
 
==How to send files for printing at https://mprint.uib.no==
 
# Go to [https://mprint.uib.no https://mprint.uib.no]. Log in unsing your UiB user name and password.<br/>[[File:web-1-pålogging.png|400px]]<br/><br/>
# Clock "Browse" to select the file to be printed. When you have selected the feil, click "Next".<br/>[[File:mprint-en-web-2-pålogget.png|400px]]<br/><br/>
# The file appears on the list under "My Print Jobs" at the botton. Initially with status "Venter på behandling", then "Skriver ut" and finally "Skrevet ut". (If any other status appears, this indicates something went wrong with the processing or transfer to SafeCom Pullprint.)<br/>[[File:mprint-en-web-4-køet.png|400px]]<br/><br/>
# When the file has status "Skrevet ut" it really is not printed, but passed on to the SafeCom Pullprint system for printing. You may now print and pick up your print job in the usual way on any printer with SafeCom Pullprint at the UiB campus. Please see [https://it.uib.no/en/Pullprint for more information.]
 
 
==How to print a web page using https://mprint.uib.no==
 
# Go to [https://mprint.uib.no https://mprint.uib.no]. Log in unsing your UiB user name and password.<br/>[[File:web-1-pålogging.png|400px]]<br/><br/>
# Click the "Web Print" tab.<br/><br/>
# Type or paste the address (URL) of the web page you want to print in the field below "Web Address to Print".<br/>[[File:mprint-en-web-5-URL.png|400px]]<br/><br/>
# Click "Next". The web address appears on the list of your print jobs. Prom this point on it is processed in the same way as when you send a file (cf. above from point 3).<br/><br/>
 
 
==How to send files you want printed with e-mail==
 
(The steps are illustrated below on an Android mobile phone, but the principles are the same regardless of device type and e-mail-program.)
 
Send the file you want printed as an e-mail attachment to [mailto:mprint@uib.no mprint@uib.no]. Only attachemnts larger than 5 Kb will be printed. The message body will not be printed.
 
Pick the file you want printed (in this case a picture).    Attach it to an e-mail message you send to mprint@uib.no.  Pick up the print job in the regular way at a Pullprint printer.<br/>

We transfer e-mail-addresses from UiB's user administration system SEBRA at regular intervals. If the mprint system does not recognize the e-mail-address you are sending from, you will have to register. [[Mprint_registration|Please see further information about first time registration.]]
 
If your e-mail address has been registered by us, you will receive an e-mail message in return from the mprint system the first time you print. .... ''more about this including screenshot of the massage when this is finalized!''
 
 
==Frequently asked questions==
 
===Can I print in colour?===
 
The Mprint service does not offer colour printing at this time. We are working on a way of offering this.
 
===Can I print single-sided?===
 
Not using the Mprint service. You will have to print using UiB's [[Pullprint]] service and choose single-sided printing.
 
===Can I change printer settings (stapling, paper selection, advanced layout, etc.)?===
 
Not using the Mprint service. You will have to print using UiB's [[Pullprint]] service and change printer settings in the print dialogue.
 
===How much does it cost?===
 
Students pay for their printing according to the normal [[Pullprint]] prices. Employees' prints are charged to their department according to the regular tariff when the printing is performed on a student printer or [[FUTURA]] printer. There is no extra charge for using the mprint service!
