Printing from Public Computers

The Mafil company operates “public” printers on all four University campuses at various public computing areas including computer centers, dormitories and libraries. Both black and white and color printing is available.

Payment is made via credit card or rechargeable print cards which can be purchased from machines located in each computer center.

Sending Printing Jobs from public computers

Single-sided black and white printing- select the “BW Simplex” printer
Color printing- choose COLOR printer (single-sided printing only)

Sending Printing Jobs from a private computer- Cloud printing- Print Mobile

*It is recommended to send via a public computer instead since it is the more reliable method.

Cloud printing (Print Mobile) allows you to send documents for printing to public printers by sending an email to the printer email address. The print job should be an attached file with a common format (such as tif, png, jpeg, doc, docx, PDF, etc.). Each printer has a different email address.

We recommend that you send each file separately. In order to maintain the layout and fonts, a PDF file must be sent. Do not send files larger than 20MB, of with file names longer than 30 characters.

Listed below are listed the different printer email addresses:

Black\white, one-sided ms.bw@mail.huji.ac.il

Black\white, two-sided ms.bw.duplex@mail.huji.ac.il

Color, one-sided ms.color@mail.huji.ac.il
