This includes local web services, high-performance computing, backup storage and so on, as well as providing support for Fysikum specific computer installations and customizations.

If for some reason the Printomat service is inavailable it's also possible to use Albanovas printers at floor 5 besides the main reception. They have 3 printer/copy machines there which supports printing from a USB stick. But they can only read and print PDF files. The machines may have difficulties to recognize the USB stick but the safest way to get it to work is to use a USB formatted with FAT32.
