You can print, copy and scan in Oppari’s self-study spaces, libraries and computer labs. Printing in libraries is possible outside opening hours. You can find multifunction devices in the following buildings:
Kuopio campus: Canthia’s Oppari and Snellmania Library (Kuopio campus map)
Joensuu campus: Carelia, Agora, Borealis, Educa, Futura, Metria and Natura (Joensuu campus map)
All UEF printers are connected to the same network. When you print from a university computer, simply select the UEF Secure Print printer and print the document as normal. The print job is saved in your account, and you can release it by logging in to any UEF printer.
Printing from your own device
You can print from your own device in two ways: via the print portal or via email.
Printing via printing portal
Open printing.uef.fi in your browser.
Log in with your UEF credentials (do not add @uef.fi after your username).
Select Upload file from the menu.
Select the file you want to print (e.g. PDF, Word or PowerPoint) and press Upload.
The file will appear in your print queue. Release it by logging in to any UEF printer.
Printing via email
You can print small documents via email directly from your computer or mobile device:
Send the file you want to print as an attachment from your UEF email to [email protected].
Leave the email subject and body text blank.
Email printing works best for small files. If you are printing long lecture notes or other large files, open them on Oppari’s computer and print via the UEF Secure Print-print queue.
Logging in to the printer
Log in to the printer with your UEF credentials (without the @uef.fi ending). Only you can see your own print queue and release your print jobs.
Speed up login with an RFID card
You can link your UEF ID to any card that contains an RFID chip, such as a student or bank card. Linking does not affect the other functions of your card.
Here’s how to link your card:
Hold your card to the printer’s RFID reader.
Enter your UEF ID and password on the printer’s screen.
Once you’ve successfully logged in, your card is linked.
From now on, you can log in to any UEF printer simply by showing your card to the reader.

Troubleshooting
Printing queue cannot be found in the printing menu
If you can't find the printing queue on an Oppari workstation, try to install it from
Software Center ”UEF Secure Print / Konica Minolta”.
If you can see the queue, and still cannot print, please contact IT servicedesk.
Document isn't shown in the Secure print table on the printer
Make sure you have sent your document to the right printer, i.e. that you have chosen the correct printer or printing queue in the printing window of the program you're using. Read the detailed instructions for printing at the beginning of this page.
Document is shown on the printer but won't print
If you have a printing budget (prints are liable to charges) make sure that your printing account has enough balance to print the document. See the prices and instructions on adding money to your printing account above.
Please check that you did not turn off the computer from which you added the document to the printing queue. The computer must be on whilst printing. You can sign out from the computer, but do not shut it down completely.
Document is shown and disappears from the printing table when printing begins, but no paper comes out, or the content of the document is incorrect, e.g. random symbols
Make sure that the paper hasn't jammed in the printer. If the paper has jammed inside the printer, there is a notification on the printer's screen. Follow the instructions on the screen to remove the paper from the printer.
If the paper hasn't jammed, there is a compatibility problem between the printer and the computer program. The printer hasn't been able to decode the document sent by the program. Solution:
if the document isn't in PDF form, save it as a PDF by printing the document with Microsoft Print to PDF or Foxit Reader PDF Printer. These are virtual PDF printers that will save the document as a PDF file on the hard drive and ask the user to type a new PDF file name. Take note of the folder where you save the PDF file, and the name of the new file.
open the recently created PDF document in Adobe Reader: open File Explorer with the keyboard shortcut Windows + E; open the folder where the file is located; activate the file; choose "Open with..." / "Avaa sovelluksessa..." by right-clicking or from the context menu; choose Adobe Reader.
press Ctrl + P to open the Adobe Reader printing window. Click Advanced and when the Advanced Print Setup dialogue box opens, activate the Print As Image setting.
Cannot print a PDF form, Adobe Reader notifies of a drawing error
This is about a compatibility problem between Adobe Reader and the printer. The Print As Image setting cannot be used with electronically fillable PDF forms. The solution is to open the filled form in the Edge browser and print it from there.
open File Explorer with the keyboard shortcut Windows + E; open the folder where the file is located; activate the file; choose "Open with..." / "Avaa sovelluksessa..." by right-clicking or from the context menu; choose Microsoft Edge.
press Ctrl + P to open the Microsoft Edge printing window. Press Enter to begin printing.
Advanced printing features
Binding location in 2-sided printing
You can find 2-sided printing from the first tab of the controller's user interface. From the 1-sided/2-sided/Booklet menu choose 2-sided printing (Kaksipuolinen tulostus).
From the Binding Location (Sidontakohta) menu you can choose how your print is read. Here Long Edge (Pitkä reuna) means that the 2-sided print is read like a book by turning the paper with the long edge first. Short Edge (Lyhyt reuna) means that it is read like a calendar by turning the paper with the short edge first.
The icon on the left shows how your document will be printed. If you don't need other finishing functions, accept your choices by clicking OK.
Stapling
You can choose your print to be stapled. From the Staple/Collate/Group menu choose Staple + Collate (Nidonta & Lajittelu).
You can also choose the placement of the staple separately. As default it will be on the top left corner of your document. If you want to change the setting, choose Staple Position (Niitin paikka).
Booklet
You can also print your document as a booklet. Then the machine will place the pages side by side on an A4 or A3 paper, folds it, and staples the papers with two staples in the middle, if your printer's finisher supports this stapling option.
The document can have a maximum of 60 pages. If there are more pages, the finisher will not fold the papers or staple them in the middle, but it will place the pages in the correct order like a booklet.
From the 1-sided/2-sided/Booklet menu in the middle of the first tab of the controller, choose Booklet (Vihkotulostus). From the Saddle Stitch Settings (Satulanidonnan asetukset) menu, choose Fold+Saddle Stitch (Taitto+Satulanidonta). Without this option activated the document will be printed with a booklet layout but without middle stitching.
Printing on film or specialty paper
Put the material that is suitable for the printer to the bypass tray (small hatch at the right end of the machine). On the touch screen the machine asks for the paper size. Choose the right size, for example A4. Press Next. Tell the type of the material in the bypass tray and press OK. It is important to input the thickness of the material/paper correctly, otherwise it will get stuck inside the printer.
In your computer program, move to the printing menu and then to the printer properties. Choose to show the printer configuration on the left by clicking the small printer icon at the top of the page. Click the bypass on the graphic printer icon. Accept by clicking OK and begin printing.
