Simply quitting and restarting the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager will not do to restart the HP Designjet 50ps software. The HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager only acts as the "user interface" which basically controls the HP Designjet 50ps software. Quitting the HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager only means that the user interface is closed whereas the processes currently running are not affected.
All processes and services required in the background are automatically started when the server is started. Nevertheless, it may be useful in some situations to restart the HP Designjet 50ps software without having to shut down and restart the entire operating system of the server.
For this purpose, the Service Control program can be used. It is called up by using the command Start > Programs > hp Designjet 50ps > hp Designjet 50ps Service Control. If the program is called up immediately after the server operating system has been started, you can also use it to monitor starting of the individual processes.

Clicking the Stop button causes all processes related with HP Designjet 50ps to be shut down.

While the processes are being stopped, the ring surrounding the Start/Stop button "rotates", and messages covering the processes appear in the area to the right.
|
|
All processes have been terminated when the Stop button has turned into the Start button.
To restart, click the Start button. The processes are restarted.

The messages shown in the right-hand area indicate the progress of the starting procedure. When the Start button has turned into a Stop button again and the ring has turned blue, the software is ready for operation again. This state is also indicated by a corresponding message.
Note: When all processes have been started correctly, only the message indicating that the system is running will remain in the message area.
If, however, errors have occurred (e.g. because individual processes could not be started or because no output device could be found), the pertaining messages shown in red letters will remain visible. Any messages indicating that a virtual printer has been stopped will also be displayed here.
When the system is stopped via Service Control, all jobs that have been queued but not yet processed by the RIP up to this point will either be immediately reactivated or set to the Paused state when the system is restarted. In the latter case, they will have to be restarted individually. The state the jobs will have depends on whether or not the Hold jobs after restarting the RIP option under Job handling has been activated.
All other jobs will be cancelled as Aborted and moved to the Req. attention list.
