The mission of Pharos Systems is to make every print an intelligent decision. One way we do it is by reducing the amount of unnecessary printing that people do, thereby preventing paper waste from being generated. This is good for the environment, not only because it saves trees. The pulp and paper industry is the largest consumer of process water and the third largest consumer of energy in the U.S.
Pharos technology eliminates unnecessary printing in libraries by providing patrons with a second chance at the printer to decide what they really need to print. Very often when people are doing online research, the first several articles they find (and print) are not as useful as material they find later. Without a Pharos solution, every document they send to a library printer will be printed, and some will be thrown out immediately. With Pharos Secure Release Here® technology, patrons can walk up to any printer, review all the jobs they’ve submitted, and select the ones they really need to print. It reduces paper waste — and saves patrons money.
