Pharos Cloud Print


Overview:

Pharos Cloud Print, our new print management software, is designed for ease of use. It supports Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) printing, improves efficiency, and provides enhanced security for students and employees. It lets you print from a connected device by sending print jobs to a network printer via the cloud. Rowan-Cabarrus offers employees and students access to copiers and printers at all our campus locations. 


Employees:

Employees can print using the print application on their college laptop or desktop, a college instructor’s computer, or the Rowan-Cabarrus Portal. Employees will also be able to securely scan documents to their Email or OneDrive and utilize the copy functions to make copies. 


  • If an employee is utilizing a college laptop or desktop computer, they will need to activate their Pharos account first. During this process, an employee will be assigned a passcode. It is important to save this passcode, as it will be used to retrieve the documents sent to the printer. To utilize the new Pharos Cloud Print platform, choose “RCCC Secure Print” when printing a document from your device. The older printers will be removed from your device once the transition is completed across the entire college. 
  • If an employee is using a college instructor’s computer, a passcode is not required. Employees can log in to Pharos Print with their Rowan-Cabarrus email address and password. They might be prompted to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) for verification. Once they are logged in, they should navigate to the Direct Print tab in the Pharos Print application, select and add the desired printer, and proceed to print their document. 
  • To print through the portal, employees will first need to log in using their Rowan-Cabarrus email account. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) may be required to verify their access. Once logged in, they can generate and save a passcode needed to retrieve documents at the printer. After uploading their document to the portal, employees can go to the printer, enter the passcode, and print their document. 


Students:

Students can print their documents using either the Pharos Print application on a college computer or the Rowan-Cabarrus Portal.  


  • If a student is utilizing a college computer, no passcode is necessary. Students log in to Pharos Print using their Rowan-Cabarrus email address and password. They may be asked to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify access. After logging in, they can navigate to the Direct Print tab in the Pharos Print application, select and add the printer, and then proceed to print their document. 
  • If a student chooses to print via the portal, they will first need to log in using their Rowan-Cabarrus email account. They may be asked to complete multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify access. After logging in, they will generate a passcode, which should be saved, as it will be required to retrieve their print documents. Once the document is uploaded to the portal for printing, they can go to the printer, enter the passcode, and print their document. You can access the PDF documentation below to learn more about Pharos Cloud Print.
