The Pharos system manages printers, copiers, and scanners located in many common areas of the CUIMC campus, and is primarily used by students.
Anyone wanting to use Pharos must have the following:
- A CUIMC email/MC domain account - your page quota and initial login for the Pharos printers is tied to your MC account.
A CUIMC or Columbia ID card can also be used at any Pharos printer to access your account. The first time you tap your card at a reader it will require your MC login as well.
- A Pharos page quota - used to track the number of prints or copies made from Pharos printers.
In brief, you can print to Pharos by:
- Send a print job from a computer that is connected to the Pharos print queue(s).
- Enter your MC username (typically your UNI) in the Pharos pop up window that appears on the computer.
- Go to any Pharos printer on campus and tap your ID card on its reader or login with your MC account.
- Select the print job(s) you'd like to print.
