Printing at UIS has become even easier with the new Pharos Mobile Print. With Pharos Mobile Print, users can either send an email with the file they need to print attached or they can use My Print Center.
Sending an Email Attachment
To use Pharos Mobile Print, create a new email addressed to pharosmobileprint@uis.edu. Next attach the document that you want to print to the message and press send.
Note: Attachments must be one of the following file types to show up in the print queue:
- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft Excel
- Microsoft PowerPoint
- images
- text (CSV, RTF, TXT)
Once you have sent your message, you will receive a confirmation email. You can now make your way to a Pharos Print Station and swipe your iCard to locate your print job and print it. The print job will be the name of the file you attached to your email and it will list your NetID in the OWNER column.
My Print Center
To print from your laptop, visit Pharos' My Print Center and login with your NetID and password. NOTE: You must be on campus to access My Print Center.
Once you have logged in, you are now able to upload your document to print by clicking the Upload button in the upper left side of the Print Center page. Select the file to print (see supported file types above). Once the file has been uploaded, you can now go to a Pharos Print Station and swipe your iCard to locate your print job and print it. The print job will be the name of the file you attached to your email and it will list your NetID in the OWNER column.
