Printing Documents Using the Pharos UniPrint System

Overview

How do you get started?

Blinn College uses the Pharos UniPrint Service, a cloud-based printing system. Send a job to the Pharos Secure Printer and release it at any Pharos Print Station on campus. The Ricoh Printer/Copier Stations can print documents queued in the remote printing system accessed at print.blinn.edu.  In order to print or make copies, you will need to login to the print station using your standard myBlinn credentials.

Step by Step Guide

Cost Schedule

The semester is officially over after the last exam has been completed.   Print account balances will be adjusted at some time the following day. Any balance remaining from the base amount that was assigned to the account for the semester will be zeroed out.  Any additional funds that have been added by the student will remain.

Student accounts

• Each enrolled student is automatically given a print system account. The account number is the student ID number. Each enrolled student is given 15 credits in their print account per semester. This account will be deducted according to the print schedule. 
• Funds can be added and balances viewed via the Print Management site.
• Students can also add money to their account at the Enrollment Services/Business Office counter on each campus.
• The 15 credits is per semester and is not refundable nor does the balance roll over to the next semester.
• Credits added to the print account will carry over to the next semester and are not refundable.

Operation

When printing in the Library, Bullock Lab, Open Lab and classroom labs the student will be asked to enter their student ID number and password. A prompt will appear to confirm the print job and will provide the total job cost. After confirmation, the job will print to the nearby printer and the job cost deducted from their account.
