    After you select a document and click Upload & Complete, the file uploads to the server.

  6. Once the document upload is complete, you are returned to the front Web Print page. The table displays the status of the job. The status changes to indicate the progress of the job from rendering to printing, and job details such as cost and number of pages are populated when known. You can stay at this page to track the status of the job, or navigate away / close the browser—the job is not affected.

    At this stage, the CU Print Application Server accepts the uploaded document and sends it to the Web Print server. The Web Print server renders the document into a virtual print queue. Once the server has completed rendering the print job, you may release it to a physical printer like any other CU Print job; by walking up to a CU Print device and tapping your ID or releasing without your Cornell ID card.
