Pitt IT has received reports that screens are now more responsive. We believe the extremely cold temperatures earlier this week may have been impacting the responsiveness of the touch screens, especially since the affected printers were all located in building lobbies near external doors and windows. We continue to monitor the service closely and are discussing the issue with our vendor. If you encounter a recurrence of the issue, please report it to the Technology Help Desk at +1 412 624-HELP (4357) so that we can work to address it. As a reminder, you can use a workaround to release print jobs by installing the Pharos Print App (iOS and Android) and using it to scan the QR Code next to the printer’s touch screen.
