Details the various methods available for printing from mobile devices.

Mobile Print

Mobile Print allows you to submit selective content from your mobile device to the Pharos print queues for printing. As long as you can send one of the following document types as an e-mail attachment, it can be printed.  The allowed document types are:

  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • PDFs
  • Images
  • Text files (CVS, RTF & TXT)
  • Microsoft Visio

 

Printing:

On your mobile device, create a new e-mail, add one of the recognized file attachments, and send that e-mail to mobileprint@llu.edu.  No subject line is needed or text in the body.  If there is text present in the e-mail body, it might be processed as a separate attachment and added to your Print total.

Confirmation and Verification:

Your LLUH e-mail address has been already associated with your Pharos Mobile Print account.  If you use your LLUH e-mail from your device, you will receive an e-mail confirming the success or failure of the submitted job.  

Success Failure

If you use an e-mail address other than your LLUH e-mail address, you will have to confirm that this unknown e-mail address is associated with you.  An e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you used to send your print job that includes a confirmation link.  Log into your LLUH print account and confirm this non-LLU e-mail address belongs to you.  After which, you will, unfortunately, have to resend your original print job to get it into the print queue.  After resending your attachment, you will receive a success or failure e-mail similar to the ones shown above.

 

At the Printer:

With your print job successfully sent to the print queue, you have two options to print.

Method 1: 

  1. At the printer's location, swipe your badge or log in at the Pharos Release station.
  2. Your print job will be listed with the name that you gave it.  
  3. Choose your print job in the queue and pay for your prints.  Your print job will be released to the nearby printer.

Method 2:

You can use the LLU Print Center to pay for and release your print jobs.  The convenience is that this is done from a website. The caution is that your print job will be released and printed to the designated printer with or without your presence. Therefore, it is advisable to be near the printer before pay for your print job or they could become lost if you are not there to claim them right away.

  1. Go to the LLU Print Center (opens in new window).  
  2. Log in with your LLUH username and password.
  3. Look for your print job in the list.   
  4. Select your print job. Make any optional adjustments such as the number of copies, color, duplexing, or pages per sheet if available.  
  5. Select a printer.  Any printers with a triangle symbol are incompatible for printing with the options selected.
  6. Your funds are shown in the lower-left corner.
  7. Be sure to be nearby the selected printer and click on the yellow Print button in the lower right corner.
