As part of the university's
Managed Print Cost Savings Initiative, all students, faculty and staff will need to enroll in Pharos Print (the "Managed Print System") . This is a one-time setup that
links your campus ID card and provides you a personal
passcode for the system. To enroll from a campus device, follow these steps.
ID Enrollment via Campus Device
Open the Pharos Print app from the Windows System tray (or the macOS menu bar) from a campus computer. Its icon will look like a simplified office-style printer.
When the Welcome to Pharos Print screen opens, click Login to continue.
When prompted, sign-in using your Buffalo State email address and password. Your browser will display a confirmation indicating successful authentication. You can close this message before continuing.
The next screen that appears will display your unique passcode. Write this passcode down! You'll be asked to enter this code the first time you release a print at one of the Managed Print Services locations. After this one-time setup, you can simply tap your Bengal ID card to release prints, but the passcode also lets you to print without needing your ID Card. Click Continue.
You will also receive a confirmation email from no-reply@beacon.pharos.com with a subject line “Pharos Secure Release Passcode Reference." So long as you noted your passcode in the previous step, this message lets you know you've finished the setup process.
