There are jobs remaining in the printer. Cancel printing or
force the remaining data to be printed.
To forcibly print the job, press the <ON LINE> button to set
the printer in off-line mode, then press the <FEED/SELECT>
button. After the job has been printed, press the <ON LINE>
button again to return the printer to online mode.

the middle of a job depending on when the <ON LINE> button
is pressed. In this case, subsequent print data received after
the <FEED/SELECT> button is pressed, will be recognized as
a new job. The data will be printed after the off-line mode has
been cancelled. Furthermore, it may not be printed properly.
