Step 2 - Staple | Hole Punch (Optional)

At the computer, with the Print dialog box still open, click on Show Details, if you haven’t already in Step 1.

In the Presets drop down, you can select from options including: Staple & Hole Punch, depending on the functions of the copier.

Then click Print if you have no other changes to make. Proceed to Step 3.

Step 3 - Review & Accept The Print Charges

At the computer, after clicking "Print," wait for the Pharos print charge dialog to show-up so you can accept the print charges. You will be shown the total charged against your print balance. You can either click Yes to accept the charges & print or No to decline the charges & not print.

If you accepted the charges & printed, go to the copier you selected where you will tap your card, select your documents and begin printing.

Remember if your current balance is $0.00, your student account will be billed.
