After check out is done, you need to get ticket to go to Taipei Main Station. That’s

We took a bus rout map to see which is the fastest and cheaper price. They have brochure available at the counter or I can suggest you ask from the information counter before you get on any rides. (Sorry I miss out taken a picture of the station.)
Get the ticket from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Main Station. Its cost 125 NTD for each person. Which is about $5.64 sgd.
