In the printer window, you can cancel jobs that are being sent to the printer.
Otherwise, you can cancel jobs from imagePROGRAF Printmonitor if they have been received by the printer or are
currently being printed.

Note

Print jobs are shown in the printer window while they are being sent from the computer. After transmission, jobs are not dis-
played even during printing.

Print jobs are displayed in the imagePROGRAF Printmonitor window from the moment the printer starts receiving the print
data until the moment printing is finished. They are not displayed before print data is sent to the printer, even if the computer
has started preparing the print data.
