Unhappy No cold air from AC

picked my 99 XK8 up this week after having the transmission replaced. Today it was warm in Florida so I cut on the AC, no cold air. I have checked the fuses and I can hear the compressor start. Any ideas? AC was great when I took it in. I did a search and did not see how to check charge or even how to charge AC. Help! I would like to know before I take it back to shop and say.....

Start by reading the Climate Control Codes.

A test of the static (engine off) pressure on the low side should read 30-40 psi.

Is that tested at the port at the back pass side of motor?

That's it. Off the larger refrigerant line. The high pressure side is on the accumulator in the front right corner forward of the air filter box.
