How do I stop a job?

 

Stopping an individual job

You might wish to stop individual jobs if a specific job must be printed next although it is not being listed next in the In progress list. In this case, simply set all jobs higher up in the list to Paused.

Using this function will also stop the job that is currently being printed. However, any data that are already in the intermediate buffer will be further processed, i.e. some pages may still be output.

  • Click the button in front of the job name to open the job settings of the job to be stopped.
  • Click the Hold the job icon.
  • The job is set to Paused but can be restarted if required.

A job can also be aborted instead of paused. Click the Cancel the job icon to do this. The job is then moved from the In progress list to the Req. attention list and is given aborted as its status.

The procedure must be repeated for every job to be stopped.

Stopping all jobs

Processing of all queued jobs can be stopped in two ways on the server:

  • By clicking the Stop button in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager program
  • By clicking the Stop button in the Service Control program (for emergencies)

Using the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager:

  • Start the hp Designjet 50ps EngineManager program on the server by selecting Start > Programs > hp Designjet 50ps EngineManager.
  • Click the Stop button. This will stop the printer (the current page will be fully output). The jobs states in the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager remain unchanged.

 

  • You can now, for example, edit the job list and then click the Start button in the HP Designjet 50ps EngineManager to restart processing of the print jobs.

Using the Service Control module:

Note: This method will cause all jobs already processed by the RIP to be aborted by the system.

  • Start the hp Designjet 50ps Service Control program on the server by selecting Start > Programs > hp Designjet 50ps Service Control.
  • Click the Stop button. This will cause all print jobs to be paused, and any processed run in conjunction with the HP Designjet 50ps will be stopped. As a result, you will no longer be able to access the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager.

 

  • Depending on the setting made for the Restart of RIP option under Job preferences > Print settings the jobs not yet ripped may have to be restarted individually in the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager after the processes have been restarted via the Start button of the Service Control program.
