The Pharos Mobile Print app is still in development and has not yet been released for Android as of this writing. This guide will be updated upon it's release.
Pharos mobile printing enables you to upload images and documents from anywhere on campus to Pharos printer stations. Funds for Pharos printing come from your Campus Card account. For more information about Campus Card and how to add funds to it, please go here: http://campuscard.umbc.edu/about/

- To customize the output of your print job (color, double or single sided, etc) go to the "Print options" section towards the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
- Review your available funds and the total cost of your print jobs.
- If you want to delete a file from the job list, select the document from the list and press the "Delete" icon.
- Now you can go to any Pharos station in the Library or in the Engineering building and swipe your Campus ID Card at the printer to print the files you have uploaded.
