Cancel Print; Test - IBM 3 User Manual

Cancel Print

When this key is pressed while the printer is active and online, the attachment
sends a "cancel request" to the host and, for coax and twinax attachment, all print
data is cleared, the print buffers are cleared, and the printer displays:
059 CANCEL PRINT SELECTED
For twinax, the "cancel print" function is valid in the online not ready and ready
states.
For coax, the "cancel print" function is only valid in the online not ready state
when the Format/Online indicator is on. The cancel request is not sent, however,
until you press Start after the 059 message is displayed. If you press Cancel Print
again after the 059 message is displayed (instead of Start), the cancel request will
not be sent and the 059 message will be cleared.
For parallel, serial, and LAN, the Cancel Print clears all print buffers. This
function is valid only when the printer is not ready.
Cancel Print is also active in Operator Print Tests. If Cancel Print is pressed while
in the tests, the printer stops any test in process, exits the test mode, performs a
partial reset, and becomes ready.
