Pharos Secure Release Desktop Application

The Pharos Secure Release desktop app (previously called the Document Management tool) is a desktop application installed with the Print Scout or macOS Scout that allows end users to do the following on their workstations:

• View documents waiting to print - The Pharos Secure Release desktop app gives end users the chance to see documents waiting to be released, and allows them to clean up the list before they walk up to a printer. This tool is particularly useful when printers are secured with the Sentry SR25 hardware for print release. The SR25 does not leverage the printer’s user interface, so users would have no opportunity to delete specific jobs from their queue before releasing their print jobs.

  

• Delete documents that they no longer need
• View activity history
• Launch the Setup Guide (available only on Windows machine)
• Reset PIN code
• Reset Passcode
• Switch locations (if Location Switcher is configured)
• Change Data Privacy Regions

The Pharos Secure Release desktop app also provides the following features:

• Secure Print Failover (Offline Print). Available only if enabled
• Direct Print (if licensed).
• Print-at-Home Requires Direct Print license.
• Delegate Print
