• Make any adjustments, then click Print.
• Print as many documents as you need, they will all be saved for you to print all at once.
• Go to one of the GoPrint Stations, and find your Portal user name on the screen. Make sure you choose the right user id. Touch the name on the screen.
• A new screen appears, listing your print jobs. Touch the ones you want to print. Check marks will appear next to them. (If you've decided not to print something, just leave it alone it'll eventually disappear.)
• Touch the bottom right of the screen where it says "Accept this print job".
• Your prints will come out at the printer noted on the print job. (Please note, if it's a large file, such as a PDF or PowerPoint, it may take several minutes to print. If you've been waiting a long time, come to the Information Desk on the first floor for assistance.)
