Register a Mobile Device

Print users can release and submit documents from a secure printer using the Pharos Secure Release mobile app. The app is available for iOS and Android mobile devices.

Step 1: Download and install the Pharos Secure Release mobile app on your mobile device.

You can download the app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android)

Step 2: Register your email address

Register your email for Pharos Secure Release if you haven't already done so.

The way in which users register for Secure Release depends on the authentication provider set up in the Settings screen.

Note: With Active Directory authentication, users simply send documents to the Secure Printer. User registration is not required.

Step 3: Register your mobile device

The process of registering a device varies depending on your authentication method.

For Email Authentication and Active Directory Authentication, a Print Scout is required. Users must scan a QR code to sign in and register their mobile devices for Secure Release.

For OpenID Authentication, Print Scouts are not required to be installed on user workstations and users register the device by entering their email address.

Option A: Email Authentication or Active Directory Authentication

  1. Right-click on the Pharos Print desktop app icon and then select the Register a Mobile Device option.

  2. This will open the Register a Mobile Device dialog box, displaying a QR code.

  3. Using the Pharos Secure Release mobile app, select the I have a QR Code option at the bottom of the screen, then scan the QR code displayed in the dialog box on your workstation.

    Your mobile device is now registered.

  4. After a successful device registration, you will be redirected to the mobile app and should now have access to the app’s features and functions.

  5. Walk up to a Secure Release enabled printer and then using your mobile device, scan the QR code attached to the printer to release the test page.

Option B: OpenID Authentication (SSO)

For SSO to work on mobile app, user accounts must already exist in the Pharos Cloud, whether through user registration, user import, or SCIM import.

Note: Logging out of the mobile app will require users to re-register their device with Pharos Secure Release.
