Enter the independently expected transport outcome for unknown printer output. Keep the full route and hold cases, and leave physical printing unconfirmed.

## Enter independent PrintStation answers

1. **Load the current PrintStation configuration**

   Read the current product configuration before changing it.

2. **Open the prepared policy**

   Open the saved immutable policy before entering its independent transport answers.

3. **Enter the expected unknown-output hold**

   When output is unknown, keep the request held. An acknowledgement is not proof that a label physically printed.

4. **Prepare the complete change**

   Check the complete values before preparing the private file.

5. **Upload the checked file**

   Upload the complete change. Uploading alone does not save it.

6. **Confirm the complete change**

   Confirm that the whole file contains the values you intend to save.

7. **Save the complete change**

   Wait for the product to confirm the original save. Separate checking and approval are still required.
