From the System > Printers menu, select Your Hold Entries to display the Report Queue window.
In the Report Title field, select the extract file.
From the Tools menu, select Download to display the Windows Select File window.
Enter the path and name of the file to which to download the extract file.
Add the .txt extension to the file name.
Import the file into a Windows application that can read .txt files.
Exit the window.
