You will probably not see the symbol < ESC > on the screen, but a
differentsymbolsuch as “E or ‘[, or perhaps no symbolat all. This depends
on your software.
After printing the first page of a long job, you may want to pause to
check that the printing is correctly formatted. Press the On Line switch,
setting the printer off-line. Printing will stop immediately. To resume
printing, press the On Line switch again.
If you need to abandon a printingjob beforeit is finished,your software
should provide a command for this purpose. Another simple expedient is
to switch the printer’s power off.
