QMS 860, User Manual, Page: 85 / 398

NOTE: Always make sure the printer is idle and off line before
making configuration changes. You must take the printer
off line before using the control panel keys (except for
the Online/Offline key, Cancel key, and Status Page key).
If the printer is not idle, jobs may be lost.
Online/Offline Key When the printer is on line, the indicator on
the key is lighted. Press the key once to take the printer off line (the
indicator goes out). You must take the printer off line before using
all other keys except the Cancel key and the Status Page key.
When the printer goes off line, the communication ports are closed,
so no new data is accepted. The engine stops printing when the
printer has finished printing all jobs in process. Although jobs
continue to compile and print using the data already received, a job
may be interrupted, causing it to wait for more incoming data
before printing resumes.
When the printer is off line, pressing the Online/Offline key once
places it back on line. The indicator lights, and the printer is once
again ready to accept and process new print jobs.
NOTE: Use the Menu key to stop the print job cancel or end.
Cancel Key Press this key to cancel a print job or to send an
end-of-job indicator to a print job waiting for incoming data. It is
not necessary to take the printer off line first.
How to Cancel a Print Job
Press the control panel keys in the order shown in the following
instructions to cancel a print job. The printer responds by
displaying a status message in the message window. You may need
to press the Next key one or more times to advance through the list
of selections or options.
