    There are three methods for canceling a job.
    NOTE
    If the optional network board is installed, you can also cancel a print job from the Remote UI (the software that allows you to manage the printer using a web browser).
    For details on the procedure for canceling a print job using the Remote UI, see "Chapter 3 Various Functions of the Remote UI," in Remote UI Guide in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.

    Canceling a Print Job Using the Print Queue
    1. Display the Printer Status Window.
    For details on methods for displaying the Printer Status Window, see [Displaying the Printer Status Window].

    2. Click [ ] (Print Queue).



    The print queue is displayed.


    NOTE
    • You can also display the print queue using the following procedure.
    1. Display the [Printers and Faxes] folder or the [Printers] folder.
    From the [Start] menu, select [Settings] > [Printers].
    From the [Start] menu, select [Printers and Faxes].
    From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel], and then click [Printers and Other Hardware] > [Printers and Faxes].
    From the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel], and then click [Printer].
    2. Double-click the icon for this printer.

    3. Right-click the job that you want to cancel, then select [Cancel] from the pop-up menu.


    NOTE
    • Another user's job is not displayed. However, all the jobs are displayed on the print server if the printer is shared on a network.
    • This printer allows you to operate jobs in the print queue until they are completed.

    4. Clicking [Yes] cancels the print job.



    Canceling a Print Job Using the Printer Status Window
    1. Display the Printer Status Window.
    For details on methods for displaying the Printer Status Window, see [Displaying the Printer Status Window].

    2. Clicking [ ] (Cancel Job) cancels the print job.


    NOTE
    While another user's job is being printed, you cannot cancel the job. However, you can cancel the print job from the print server if the printer is shared on a network.

    Canceling a Print Job Using the Cancel Job Key
    When you cannot print because an error is occurring with another user's job (when you cannot delete another user's job in the Printer Status Window on your computer), use the (Cancel Job) key to cancel the job.

    1. Pressing the (Cancel Job) key cancels the job.
    The (Cancel Job) indicator (orange) is on while you are pressing the key, and the job cancel process starts after you release the key. The (Cancel Job) indicator (orange) blinks while a job is in the cancellation process.


    IMPORTANT
    • You cannot cancel the following pages or jobs.
    - Pages of which data has been received already
    - Jobs of which print copy is one sheet of paper
    • If the job when the key is pressed and the job when the key is released are different, both the jobs cannot be canceled.
    • Depending on the settings for the [Settings of the Cancel Job Key] dialog box in the Printer Status Window, you may not be able to cancel a job.
