Pausing and Resetting the Printer
If you need to stop the printer during a print job, press the Pause button.
Press the Pause button again to resume printing.
If you decide to cancel a job after the printer has started processing it, you can reset the printer. Press the Pause button and hold it down for 3 seconds. This clears all data in the printer’s memory.
Checking Printer StatusYou can use the control panel to print a status check or nozzle check. These prints allow you to test the printer without sending a print job (and without connecting the printer to the RIP). You can also check the amount of ink remaining, total number of prints, and the status of your cutter blade and other printer parts.
