Article summary

The Pharos Print Center provides a convenient way to release documents. It's a web portal that enables users to release documents sent via standard Pharos queues to any Blueprint-controlled printer.

What can I do with the Pharos Print Center?

Pharos Print Center (Standard) allows users to

  • Release print jobs

  • Delete print jobs

  • Create a guest account

  • View and manage print jobs submitted to Secure Release Here from MobilePrint

  • Manage Delegate Printing

If your system is integrated with Pharos MobilePrint, users can also:

  • Upload documents to print

  • Send documents to print via email

  • Change printing options for MobilePrint documents (e.g. black & white or color, single or double-sided).

The Print Center also allows administrative users to:

  • Manage Quotas for a group

  • View events related to Secure Release

  • View overall health of your Blueprint system

  • Customize the look and feel of Print Center so it matches your organization’s branding

  • Secure Pharos Sentry Print capable devices or generate QR codes (if licensed)

  • Configure MobilePrint settings

Print Center Workflow

  1. Submit document(s) to print.

  2. Release your document(s), as follows:

    1. In your browser, enter the web address of the Pharos Print Center.

    2. Log in with your username and password (typically your network ID and password).

    3. Select the document(s) you want to print.

    4. Select or search for the printer to which to send your document(s).

    5. Click Print.

  3. Collect your printed documents.

Searching for a Printer

If your printer is not on the Printer list, you can search for it by typing any of the following printer information:

  • Device Name

  • Description

  • Manufacturer

  • Model

Notes about searching for printers:

  • The first time you select or use a printer, Pharos Print Center will tag the printer as recently used. The next time you select a printer, you will see only the last selected printer.

  • If you want to select other printers (i.e. those that have not been tagged as recently used), you can search for them by typing the printer information in the text box.

Deleting Print Jobs

  1. On the Job list tab, select the document you want to delete.

  2. Click the Delete icon.

Releasing Documents

  1. Select the document(s) you want to print.

  2. Select or search for the printer to which to send your document(s).

  3. Click Print. A confirmation dialog box appears.

  4. Click Confirm to print your document(s).

  5. Collect your documents from the printer.

Viewing Print Jobs

When you first log in to the Pharos Print Center, the Job List screen shows a list of documents you have submitted for printing.

Column

Description

Type

The format of the submitted document. For example, Text, Word, Excel, etc. The document name; usually the document name from the application that created the job. The number of pages.

Title

The document name; usually the document name from the application that created the job.

Pages

The number of pages.

Pieces of paper

The number of pieces of paper on which the document will be printed.

Print Preview (available only when MobilePrint is installed)

Clicking the Print Preview icon shows how a document will look when printed. Hovering over the Print Preview icon shows job attributes (e.g. black & white, double-sided, number of pages per side, number of copies).

Note

Non-MobilePrint jobs (i.e. those sent via Pharos queues ) will show N/A. This means that you cannot change the finishing options for those documents.
