# How to download, queue, direct print, or multi-print sliced output

# How to download, queue, direct print, or multi-print sliced output
After slicing, you can decide what to do with the generated output file. This article explains the post-slice actions in the Cloud Slicer and when each one appears.

## Download
Use **Download** when you want the generated file on your device.

Download is useful if you want to:

- Move the file to removable storage
- Print outside SimplyPrint
- Keep a local copy
- Send the file through another workflow

The browser downloads the generated output file from the completed slice.

## Save
Use **Save** to upload the generated file to your SimplyPrint files.

SimplyPrint lets you choose the folder and file name. Once saved, the file can be used later from the files area.

## Queue
Use **Queue** to add the sliced output to the print queue.

The queue action appears when the slicer has a generated file and your account can use the queue action from the slicer. The print queue itself is a separate SimplyPrint feature, so queue availability can depend on your plan, role, and account setup.

## Replace a queue item
If the slicer was opened from an existing queue file, the queue menu may offer **Replace queue item**.

Use this when you are re-slicing a queued model and want the queue item to use the new sliced output instead of adding a separate queue item.

## Print on the selected printer
Use **Print** to start the sliced file on the selected printer.

If the selected printer is ready and available, SimplyPrint can start the print on that printer.

## Multi-print
The print action can open multi-print when SimplyPrint needs a printer selection flow instead of starting directly on one ready printer.

This can happen when:

- You selected a printer model rather than a specific connected printer
- The selected printer is not ready for direct start
- You choose the multi-print option from the print menu

Multi-print lets you choose where to send the sliced output.

## If you have no connected printers
If the slicer does not have connected printers available, you can still save or download the sliced file. The slicer may also show a **How to print** action with guidance for printing the file through another SimplyPrint workflow.

## Permission and plan notes
Some actions depend on account features and user role permissions.

- Download uses the generated file in your browser
- Save uses SimplyPrint files
- Queue uses the print queue workflow
- Direct print and multi-print require print access

If an action is missing, check your plan, role permissions, printer connection, and whether the slice completed successfully.
