Frequently Asked Questions About Printing at Montpellier's University Libraries
From a public computer in a library unit (BU), first sync your card (IZLY for UM users, SEDECO for external users, and UMPV) with the copier, start printing via the File / Print menu, then swipe your card in front of the “SWIPE HERE” icon. You can also print from your personal device via the SEDECO website.
Visit the SEDECO website (sedeco-impressions.com/montpellier). UM students and staff can print directly; external users and UMPV students must first create a SEDECO account, then use “web printing” to send a job and pick it up at a self-service copier.
To print, photocopy, or scan, you’ll need an IZLY wallet with credits loaded onto your UM student or professional ID card, or a SEDECO card available from a vending machine in the university libraries. You can add credits to your IZLY wallet through your IZLY account (CROUS), at a SEDECO vending machine in the university libraries, or on the SEDECO website.
Start by linking your student ID card to your print account: swipe your card over the yellow reader on the copier, then enter your ENT login credentials.
