Cancel a print job
If the print job is currently printing, cancel it by pressing Cancel on the product control panel.
NOTE: Pressing Cancel clears the job that the product is currently processing. If more than one
process is running (for example, the product is printing a document while receiving a fax), pressing
Cancel clears the process that currently appears on the product control panel.
You can also cancel a print job from a software program or a print queue.
To stop the print job immediately, remove the remaining print media from the product. After printing
stops, use one of the following options:
●
Device control panel: To cancel the print job, press and release Cancel on the product control
panel.
●
Software program: Typically, a dialog box appears briefly on the computer screen, allowing you
to cancel the print job.
●
Windows print queue: If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler,
delete the job there.
