How To Use Uniprint
Stevens Institute of Technology has a printing system called Uniprint, developed by Pharos Systems. It works with the Stevens Campus Card system for accounting and authentication. Use of this system requires students to have a valid Stevens Identification (ID) Card to obtain their printouts. Your Stevens ID Card provides a convenient alternative to cash. Activation is free, plus there is no fees or dues. In order to use your Stevens ID Card with Uniprint, all you have to do is deposit money into your Duckbills account then use your card to pay for your printouts, as needed.
Using the Stevens ID Card
- You automatically have an account if you have a valid Stevens ID Card. No account sign up is required.
- There is no membership fees or service charges.
- You can add value to your account using cash or with a Visa and MasterCard credit card.
-
Safe - If you accidentally lose your Campus ID card, REPORT IT AS LOST (see below). Your money is secure and you can immediately print again once you have your new replacement card.
-
Easy to use - It is easy and fast to add value to your card online and view the balance, 24 hours and 7 days a week.
-
Convenient - You can use it for printed output and at the copy machines in the Library.
Note: Before you start printing, please make sure the Uniprint software and printers are installed. The Uniprint software is available for Mac OS and Windows. Please see the appropriate section of this guide for your OS.
