1. How to use the print and go option

One of the easiest and fastest ways to send a file to FedEx to print is by using the print and go option. This option allows you to email a file to [email protected] and receive a retrieval code. You can then use the code at the self-service area of any FedEx Office location to print your file.

Here’s how it works:

• Step 1: Compose an email with your file as an attachment. You can attach up to 10 files per email, and each file can be up to 25 MB in size. You can use any of the following file formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, JPG, PNG, GIF.
• Step 2: Send the email to [email protected]. You will receive an automatic reply with a retrieval code for each file. The code will be valid for 24 hours.
• Step 3: Visit any FedEx Office location and find the self-service printer. Enter the retrieval code on the keypad and follow the instructions on the screen. You can choose from black-and-white or color printing, single-sided or double-sided printing, and letter or legal paper size. You can also preview your file before printing.
• Step 4: Pay for your prints at the self-service kiosk or at the front counter. You can use cash, credit card, debit card, or gift card.

Some tips and best practices for using the print and go option are:

• Make sure your file is formatted correctly and ready for printing. Check the margins, orientation, fonts, images, and other elements of your file before sending it.
• Use a descriptive subject line for your email. This will help you identify your file when you receive the retrieval code.
• Save your retrieval code in a safe place. You will need it to access your file at the printer.
• If you don’t receive an email with your retrieval code within 10 minutes, check your spam folder or contact customer service at 1-800-GO-FEDEX (1-800-463-3339).
