Step 2: Release Your Print Job

Follow these steps to release your print job from the printer release station:

1. If you selected a specific printer location, visit that location. If you chose "andrew" (the centralized print queue), visit any release station.
2. Swipe the appropriate ID card or Plaid Ca$h card with the magnetic strip facing the terminal.
   • If you swipe an ID card, only jobs for that userID will appear.
   • If you swipe a Plaid Ca$h card, all guest jobs will appear.
     
3. Locate your job on the screen and touch that part of the screen to select it, verify the cost, and then touch Print to print the job.
   • If you entered a password for the job, a password dialog box is displayed. You will need to enter the same password to release the job.
   • Jobs not printed before the expiration time will simply expire. They do not need to be deleted.
4. When you are finished touch Logoff to exit the queue.

Using Manual Feed

The Manual Feed option for loading your own paper is allowed only at the CFA Cluster printers. Follow the steps below to perform a manual feed.

1. Request your print job.
   • Submit your job using the CFA 3xx or CFA 3xx Color Laser queues (and the appropriate drivers).
   • Select manual feed or Tray 1 from within the print dialog box.
     Note: The HP printer driver provides a Tray 1 (manual feed) option but the Xerox driver does NOT.
   • See the CCon for assistance if needed.
2. Release your job at the CFA release station.
   • Wait for any "already released" jobs to print.
   • Check with other users at the station to make sure their job doesn't print on your paper.
   • Load your paper in the manual feed/multipurpose Tray 1 of the printer whose queue you printed to. Do not force anything and ask the CCon if you have any questions!
   • The printer may prompt you for the size and type of paper you loaded. Make sure these settings match what you chose in the Page Setup or Print dialogs when you submitted your job.
   • Swipe your card at the release station and release your job to the printer.
     
     Note if printing to the CFA HP LaserJet 5100dtn: If you selected the manual feed option when you requested your print job, you can swipe your card and release your job. The printer will stop and request that you put paper in the manual feed tray before printing.
