Configure your laptop with Pharos

All laptops on the university wireless network are able to print to Pharos enabled printers with valid authentication. IC Help Desk staff are available for configuration assistance. Students may also self-install the necessary files for configuration.

Photocopiers

Black & White - Xerox WorkCentre Pro 45 (2)
Location - Ground Floor of Library

Color - Xerox WorkCenter 24 (1)
Location - Ground Floor of Library

Payment - Use of photocopiers is charged on per copy basis by using a university supplied charge card (Flexicard) or AUS ID card using the SafeQ system. Flexicards are no longer being sold so students are asked to visit the Cashier's Office to add credit to their SafeQ account. Prices for photocopying are 25 fils for one B&W copy and 1.25Dhs for one color copy.

For those who don’t have an ID card or don’t want to use their ID card, they will be able to purchase a generic card at the Cashier’s Office or Blends & Brews coffee shop in the library building. The generic cards will be available for 30Dhs with 25Dhs worth of copies and can be re-charged for 20Dhs minimum at the cashier’s office. 

No photocopy card? No problem! HP scanners in the library now work as photocopiers. When you use the scanner, you will be asked to choose the printer (color or black & white) and to supply your Pharos username and password (this is the same as your email username and password).  Release the job from the Release Station and pick up your printouts. Your Pharos account will be debited in the same manner as all printing. See the instructions here.

The University Copy Center located in the Post Office provides full service photocopying. Please inquire about rates and processing.
