Canceling Printing

For Windows XP and 2000
For Windows Me and 98

If you encounter problems while printing, you may need to cancel printing. To cancel printing, follow the instructions in the appropriate section below.

Note:

When you cancel a print job from the Windows print spooler (Windows Print Manager), printing will be canceled, however the paper may not feed properly. In this case, do not send a new print job as the output may not be printed correctly. If the paper does not properly feed after canceling a print job, press the  Power button to turn off the product, and then turn the product back on. The paper will be ejected.

For Windows XP and 2000

For Windows Me and 98

It is possible to cancel printing using either the Progress Meter or EPSON Spool Manager. Refer to the appropriate section below.

Using the Progress Meter

When you send a print job to this product, the Progress Meter appears on your computer screen.

Click the Stop button to cancel printing.

Using EPSON Spool Manager

EPSON Spool Manager is similar to Windows Print Manager. If it receives two or more print jobs at one time, it holds them in the order that they were received (with printers on a network this may be called a print queue). When a print job reaches the top of the line, the EPSON Spool Manager sends the job to the printer. From the Spool Manager, you can cancel print jobs. You can also view print status information about the print jobs which have been sent to this product, as well as pause and resume selected print jobs.

After you send a print job, an EPSON Stylus CX1500 Series button appears on the taskbar. Click this button to open the EPSON Spool Manager.

To cancel a print job, select the job in the list, then click Cancel.
