Action

Description

After a set

Press the Stop button one time

  • The printer stops when the currently printed set of the active print job is completed.

  • The dashboard displays the [Resume] button with a vertical green bar, and the message [Stopping after set...].

  • When the set is completed, the vertical green bar changes into red and the message [On hold] appears.

  • Touch the [Resume] button to continue printing.

NOTE

It depends on the set size and the moment you press the Stop button when the printer will stop. For example, when you have a large set of 1,000 pages and you press the Stop button after the first page, the printing will continue for a couple of minutes.

As soon as possible

Press the Stop button two times

  • The printer stops when the printer buffer is empty (as soon as possible).

  • The dashboard displays the [Resume] button with a vertical red bar, and the message [Stopping as soon as possible...].

  • When the printer buffer is empty, the message [On hold] appears.

  • Touch the [Resume] button to continue printing.

NOTE

The buffer can contain up to 50 pages. Because the printer stops when the buffer is empty, it is possible that the last printed set is not complete.

After a job

Touch the [Stop after job] button

  • In [Jobs] -> [Queues] -> [Scheduled jobs] you must select the job after which the printer must stop. Then touch the [Stop after job] button.

  • A horizontal, red and white stop bar indicates that the stop-after-job function is active.

  • The printer stops when the last job before the stop bar is completed.

  • Touch the [Resume] button to continue printing.

NOTE

The [Stop after job] button is not available when the [Confirm start of job: On] setting in the active [Workflow profile] is set to [On]. Then the printer stops automatically after each job.

NOTE

When you print streaming jobs or jobs that consist of 1 large set, you must press the Stop button two times to stop the printer as soon as possible.

Procedure

Table 2. Automatic stop

When

Then

  • The [Check first set] setting in a [Workflow profile] is [On], and

  • The [Check first set] setting is also enabled in the job.

The printer stops each time the first set of a print job is completed. You can check the first set before you continue the print job.

The [Confirm start of job: On] setting in a [Workflow profile] is [On].

The printer stops each time at the start of a new job. You must start each job manually.
