  5. Click print next to each job you would like to release. If you would like to cancel your job click the cancel button
  6. Click Logout on the toolbar at the top of the webpage if you are finished printing documents

Note:If a print job is not released within 20 minutes of being added to the print queue, it will be automatically deleted from the print queue and no charging will occur.
