  2. Choose Web Print from the menu.
  3. Click Submit a Job on the Web Print screen.
  4. There is only one printer enabled for wireless printing, so you don't have to choose; click Print Options And Account Selection. 
  5. Click Upload Documents.
  6. Use the Browse to find the document you want to print,
  7. Click Upload and Complete.
  8. Your print job will be listed with the status, "Held in a queue." You may pick it up in the Salem Library Print Center (9/214), or at the Yamhill Valley campus Library/Open lab (YVC 1/200, 202).
  9. Scan the barcode associated with your account on the printer unit, or log in on the touchpad.*
