HP 4050 manual Interrupting and Resuming Printing, Again

	If the connection is interrupted before your print job is complete, the
	HP Fast InfraRed Receiver status indicator turns off. You have up
	to 40 seconds to correct the interruption and continue the job. If the
	connection is resumed within this time, the status indicator lights up
	again.
Note	The connection is permanently broken if the sending port is moved
	out of operating range or if anything passing between the ports
	blocks transmission for more than 40 seconds. (This block could be
	a hand, paper, or even direct sunlight.) Depending on the size of
	the job, printing with the HP Fast InfraRed Receiver may be slower
	than printing with a cable connected directly to the parallel port.

Interrupting and Resuming Printing

The job interrupt and resume feature lets a user temporarily stop the job that is currently printing in order to print another job. When the new job is finished printing, the interrupted job resumes printing.

A user can only interrupt jobs that are printing and collating multiple copies by connecting to the infrared (FIR) port on the printer and sending a job to the printer. The printer stops printing the current job when it reaches the end of the copy it is printing. The printer then prints the job sent over the FIR connection. When the printer is done printing that job, it resumes printing the original job with multiple copies where it left off.
