Cancel a print job
You can stop a print request by using the control panel or by using the software program. For instructions
about how to stop a print request from a computer on a network, see the online Help for the specific
network software.
NOTE: It can take some time for all printing to clear after you have canceled a print job.

Press Stop on the control panel.
Stop the current print job from the software program
A dialog box will appear briefly on the screen, giving you the option to cancel the print job.
If several requests have been sent to the device through your software, they might be waiting in a print
queue (for example, in Windows Print Manager). See the software documentation for specific
instructions about canceling a print request from the computer.
If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler (Windows), delete the print
job there.
Click Start, click Settings, and then click Printers or Printers and Faxes . Double-click the device
icon to open the print spooler. Select the print job that you want to cancel, and then press Delete. If the
print job is not cancelled, you might need to shut down and restart the computer. If the job is not in the
print spooler, use the Job Status menu from control panel to cancel the job.
