Touchless Printing is simple and fast: simply walk up to a printer and use the Pharos Print app (iOS and Android) to scan the QR Code next to the printer’s touch screen. You can manage your print jobs in your queue and confirm or change job details right from your mobile device—without ever touching the printer!
The QR Code scanner can be found in the upper right corner of the mobile app. If you don’t have the Pharos Print app installed, you can scan the QR Code from your camera app. This will launch My Print Center via a web browser. After logging in, you can release all of the jobs in your queue. Please note that it is not possible to select individual jobs or adjust print settings when releasing print jobs using this method.
Frequently Asked Questions
I released my print jobs, but nothing printed. What’s wrong?
If there is an error with the printer you tried to release your jobs at, your jobs will not be released, and your print quota will not be affected. The system is unable to send an error message to your device, but your jobs will remain in your queue and you will be able to release them at another printer.
I scanned the QR code with my phone, but it is not letting me change any settings or select what jobs I want to print. What's wrong?
To access these options, please scan the QR code using the Pharos Print app. Scanning the QR code with your camera app or QR code reader will open print.pitt.edu in a browser and only allow you to release all jobs in your queue.
How do I scan QR Codes using the Pharos Print app?
To scan QR codes using the Pharos Print app, tap the QR icon in the upper right corner of the app.
The printer is printing someone else’s jobs. Can I release mine now?
Yes, but they will be mixed in with the other person’s print jobs. It is best to wait until the printer stops printing before releasing your jobs.
