How do I use Pharos Mobile Printing on a Mac or Windows device?

Pharos mobile printing enables you to remotely upload images and documents 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.

  1. Go here, type in your UMBC username and password, and then click Log in.

2. Click Upload to upload the file you want to print. A window will pop up asking for the location of the file on your computer that you want to print (for Windows, click Open; for Mac, click Choose). Once you select the file, it may take a few moments to finish uploading.

3. The file will now appear in the job list. To preview the print job, click the print preview icon that is in the Print Preview column of the uploaded file's print job. If you want to add more files to the job list, repeat steps 1 - 3.

4. To customize the output of your print job (color, double or single sided, number of copies, pages per side), go to the Print options section towards the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.



5. Review your available funds and the total cost of your print jobs.

6. If you want to delete a file from the job list, select the document from the list and press the Delete icon.

7. Now you can go to any Pharos station in the Library, Commons, or on the third floor of the University Center and swipe your Campus ID Card at the release station to print the files that you have uploaded.
