Library Printing
The Library utilizes a print-management system called Pharos to provide printing capabilities. The Pharos MyPrintCenter system allows you to:
- upload print jobs to be printed
- release print jobs at a specific printer in the library
- view account balances that allow payment for print jobs
Adding Funds
Before you can print, you will need to purchase print credits and add funds to your MyPrint Center account.
Starting March 10, 2025, payments will be made through the campus Bursar's CashNet system. This change is to be in alignment with Upstate's financial practices where monetary transactions go through Upstate business channels. See Adding Funds for more information.
Using Pharos MyPrintCenter
To learn how to upload and release your prints, visit the Using Pharos MyPrintCenter page.
Printing Costs
Printing costs are as follows:
Black & White: $.08 per page
Color: $.70 per page
Scanning and Photocopying
These services are available at the Pharos Canon MFP copier on either the first or second floor. On the first floor, this is located near the Library Service Desk. On the second floor, this is located in the middle of the John Bernard Henry Computer Learning Center (requires ID via proximity reader).
Scanning
To scan and send via email:
- On the first floor, look for the ScannX Book ScanCenter (near the copier). Use the touchscreen to begin, and follow the prompts. Accepted document formats include .pdf, .docx, .tiff, .jpg, and .png.
- Scanning and sending via email is not available on the Pharos Canon copier.
To scan to a USB drive:
- On the Pharos Canon copier, tap your ID against proximity reader, or login. (If this is your first time using the proximity reader, you'll be prompted to login).
- Insert USB into the port on the left side of the touchscreen.
- On the touchscreen, choose your file name and scan options.
- Place pages in feeder tray or on scanner glass (align to to the top left of scanner glass). Press "Start".
- When finished scanning, press "Done" and follow the prompts for removing the USB.
Photocopying
Photocopying is available through the same system as printing, Pharos MyPrintCenter. It requires logging into that system and loading funds to your account. Please read our Printing section of the website for more information.
