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.
- A web browser window should open. If prompted, sign-in using your Buffalo State email address and password. Your browser should then display a message that you've successfully authenticated, after which you can close the browser tab.
- Back on the Pharos Print app, you should now see your unique passcode. Please write down this passcode, then click Continue. You'll be prompted to enter this code the first time you print at a Managed Print Services location. After this one-time setup, you can release prints by either tapping your Bengal ID card or entering your passcode
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.
