ePrint (Pharos Uniprint) is a print/copy management system that works in conjunction with the University’s CampusCard Transaction System. The ePrint program offers users a uniform method to pay for printing services throughout the UAB campus. A print management system not only allows users to pay only for the services they choose, but promotes fiscal and environmental responsibility and significantly diminishes printing waste.
The Department of Student Affairs will provide administrative and financial management and technical support for the ePrint Program.
The UAB CampusCard office will be responsible for managing deposits into BlazerBucks and Copy/Print accounts used to pay for copy/print services at ePrint Department locations.
BlazerBucks is a pre-paid declining balance account that can be used to pay for goods and services anywhere the CampusCard is accepted, including both on-campus and approved off-campus merchant venues.
Copy/Print is a pre-paid declining balance account that can be used to pay exclusively for copy/print services at ePrint locations. Copy/Print accounts are for official University business and are funded by UAB general ledger or grant account monies.
BlazerBucks and Copy/Print are neither demand deposit accounts nor an interest bearing accounts.
Cash withdrawals from a BlazerBucks or Copy/Print account are not permitted.
Transfers of funds between CampusCard debit accounts are prohibited.
There is no minimum deposit required to activate a BlazerBucks or Copy/Print account.
Additional funds can be added to BlazerBucks and Copy/Print accounts in varying amounts, at will.

The cardholder is responsible for all cardholder authorized transactions.

Should the cardholder's account contain insufficient funds, the cardholder will be immediately notified to deposit funds to cover such transactions as soon as possible after the system is brought on-line and the transactions downloaded to the cardholders debit account.
If a cardholder believes their CampusCard/Copy/Print card has been lost or stolen, the cardholder should freeze their account activity online or report at once such loss or theft to the CampusCard Office. Failure to make a report of a lost or stolen card may result in the loss of funds in the cardholder's BlazerBucks/Copy/Print account. The University is not liable for funds lost prior to freezing account activity or the report of a lost or stolen CampusCard/Departmental Copy/Print Card.
