Pharos Printing

Pharos is the preferred printing system at Baskin Engineering. Pharos allows you to print to any of the dozens of UCSC Copier Program managed printers installed throughout campus. Pharos holds your print job for 48 hours until you walk up to a printer keeping your documents secure. 

Once you print to Pharos, you can walk up to any Pharos device anywhere on campus and log in with your CruzID and the last four digits of your employee ID (found in UCPath) or student ID number. Once logged in, you can print your jobs, make copies, or scan documents.

Staff and Faculty - Pharos printing requires an account with at least one funding source (FOAPAL). If you do not have a Pharos account or would like to modify an existing one, please email help@soe.ucsc.edu with your name, supervisor and one or more FOAPALs for printing charges. Someone from Baskin Engineering IT will contact you to obtain your employee ID number. Do not include your employee ID number in your email to help@soe.ucsc.edu.

Undergraduate and Graduate students - personal Pharos accounts are automatically generated every Fall quarter. You will need to submit a request in order to charge print jobs to an administrative or lab/research FOAPAL rather than your personal account.
