Xerox Pharos UniPrint User Guide

With the Summer 2020 refresh of Xerox multifuction devices, Pharos Uniprint has been implemented on all new Xerox devices across campus. This allows users to upload documents to be released at Xerox print release stations by tapping their card at the card scanner or by inputting their user credentials at the machine.
