3. Press the "Print" or "Ok" button etc to send your print job to the campus print server.
4. Wait for a pop-up message that will notify you that your print job has been processed on the server for printing later.
5. Go to the nearest library SAFECOM printer and swipe your SU Student Card to print your document.

• Always do a print preview before sending a large complicated print job to the print server !
• DO NOT send a large complicated print job in one batch to the print server, split it up and print in batches!
