Resetting Passcode for Secure Print Release

Tags print Pharos

Introduction

During Summer 2026, SCSU is rolling out a new fleet of multifunction printers that use secure print release. This allows you to release print jobs at the device using either:

  • A mobile app
  • A system-generated passcode (no mobile app required)

If you do not remember your passcode—or did not save the one provided earlier—you will need to reset it.

🔐 Important:

  • Passcodes are automatically generated and cannot be customized
  • Treat your passcode like a password and store it securely

Instructions

You can reset your passcode on the web portal or on the Pharos Secure Release app. 

Web portal instructions: 

  1. Go to https://scsu.mn/huskyprint
  2. Sign in with your SCSU credentials
  3. Open the menu (☰ / hamburger menu)
  4. Select Passcode
  5. Click Generate
  6. If prompted, select Regenerate

✅ Your new passcode will be displayed
📌 Save it securely for future use
