Create an account and add funds for Pharos Print services
To set up an account with Pharos and deposit funds to pay for print services, go to the Pharos Print portal at remoteprint.fordham.edu/myprintcenter. The print portal can also be accessed through fordham.edu. Select 'Log in to the Portal' at the top, and authenticate with your Fordham credentials. Once logged in, go to the My Apps page, scroll down to Utilities & Tools, and select the Pharos Pay for Print application.
When you select "Add funds" in the portal, you will be directed to a PayPal login (it's helpful to establish a PayPal account in advance). Funds are deposited into your Pharos Print account via PayPal. Alternatively, you can select to pay with a credit or debit card through your PayPal account (this is the preferred method of payment).
Temporary guest accounts may also be created.
Libraries and Labs
To print a file from a desktop computer in the libraries and labs, go to the print command or dialogue box (in a Word or Google Doc, for example, you’d select “File > Print”) and then select the option “Print to Pharos.” The print job will be sent to and held in the Pharos database until you log in to a Pharos workstation and opt to print or delete the job (unprinted jobs are automatically deleted after 10 hours).
Email
Save the document locally on your own computer or a University desktop and then email the document as an attachment to remoteprint@fordham.edu (file not to exceed 50 MB in size). Print at any print station.
Website
Save the file locally and upload it to the Pharos Remote Print portal. Printing options are available there. Print at any print station.

Best Practices for Using Pharos Remote Print
- Print requests must come from your Fordham email address or a guest Pharos account.
- The following types of file formats can be printed by Pharos: Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, Images, Text (CSV, RTF, and TXT), and Visio.
- Email your document as an attachment (not to exceed 50MB in size).
- More than one attachment may be sent in a single email.
- Logos, signatures, and pictures will print on separate pages. These items should be deleted prior to printing.
- Black and white is the default print setting. Request color and double-sided printing at the Pharos Print portal.
- Files may take a few minutes to appear in the print database after being uploaded or emailed.
- Are you printing from Google drive? Download the file and open in a non-browser program such as Word or Adobe Reader. You can't print by sharing remoteprint@fordham.edu via your Google Drive.
