Available only on Stations 312 to 326. Instructions will be posted on the workstations.
There will also be signs at the new Release station and Xerox printer directing you to pick up your jobs. Write down any comments you have about the process. If there are any problems or concerns let a Navigator (in the dark blue t-shirts) know.
The free part of this message is temporary - we are testing the new print system.
