In addition to stopping aprint job from the application at the host, you can stop printing in threeways:• Pressing the red Stop button on the printer control console. Thisis the preferred method and stops the printing immediately.• Clicking the red Stop button on the IPS main window.The printer continues to print the pages that remain in the buffer.Caution: If you select Offline during a duplex printing job, youmight interrupt the job just after the front side of a duplex sheet isprinted. Should this occur, the printer finishes with a blank reverseside. After the printing resumes, the corresponding back of theduplex page prints as a simplex sheet.
