Print Optimization & Management – Library Solutions Overview

Pharos Systems is familiar with ambitious undertakings. After all, in 1992 we started as a small group of custom software developers. Today, with customers in 50 countries, our purpose goes beyond software: we help organizations make every print an intelligent decision. But as ambitions go, it’s hard to surpass those of the citizens of Cerritos, California. They know how to create a vision of the library of the future. And Pharos has been privileged to help them make the vision a reality.

The City of Cerritos created a visually stimulating, environmentally progressive, patron-friendly, cost-effective, and technically advanced library. It provides 380 laptop computer plug-in ports and 300 computers, which is more per person than any other public library in the U.S. that serves a similar population size.

Pharos supported the library’s commitment to make every patron’s printing experience easy and environmentally smart by implementing a solution that:

• Helps people make fewer printing mistakes, thereby reducing the amount of paper that's tossed into recycling bins (or trash cans)
• Gives patrons 100% confidence that what they print won’t be seen by anyone else before it reaches their hands
• Enables them to pay for printing (and copying) with just a swipe of a library card
