User Interface Solutions > Pharos Omega PS60

The Pharos Omega PS60 provides printing security for any printer, copier, or multifunction device. It works in conjunction with the Secure Release Here® feature of Pharos Blueprint® Enterprise. When users print documents on a computer, their jobs do not go directly to a particular printer. Instead, they are held on a server. When users need their printouts, they walk up to any printer connected to an Omega PS60 and authenticate themselves by swiping their ID card across a card reader. After authentication, the PS60 releases all of the user’s print jobs.

When connected to a multifunction printer, the PS60 disables all of the device's functions (print, copy, scan, fax, etc.) until a user presents a valid ID card and is successfully authenticated.

The Omega PS60 delivers the following benefits:

The Omega PS60 also helps reduce printing waste because unreleased jobs are deleted by Blueprint after a certain amount of time passes, ensuring that paper and toner are not wasted on documents that no one really needed to print.
