The document will be listed at the bottom of the webpage. You can add as many documents as you want, one at a time. Documents sent via web browser will stay in the system for a day before they are automatically deleted and you don’t need to be on campus to send one to print. The mobile print website will only show documents you have sent via the web browser. It won’t show documents printed from the cluster computers
