Aborting a print job

XEROX 4050/4090/4450/4650 LPS OPERATOR GUIDE
For various reasons, you may need to stop the print job that is
currently running. You can interrupt a job and then resume
printing where it left off, or you can cancel a job.
You can use the ABORT command to stop a job or a report that
is either printing or being processed for printing. The CANCEL
command is identical to the ABORT command, and you can use
it interchangeably with the ABORT command.
ABORT Enter this command with no parameters to abort any currently
active nonprint task such as FDL or PDL processing. However, if
a job is being input or is printing, the ABORT command must
have a parameter, otherwise the following message displays:
OS1190 Invalid parameter, command ignored
ABORT O Enter this command to abort the report that is printing. The
system displays the following message:
OS1820 OUTPUT processing is aborting current report.
Printing continues with the next report.
ABORT I This command aborts the report currently being processed for
printing (in the input phase). It is typically used in response to
an error message, where you are given the choice of continuing
or aborting a specific report after a problem has been identified.
In response to an ABORT I command, the following message
displays:
OS1800 INPUT processing aborting.
ABORT job-id To abort a specific job, enter ABORT job-id, where job-id is the
job number for that job. This command aborts all reports of the
specified job that have not printed.
RESET When RESET is used, all jobs in the queue are deleted and have
to be resent from the host. RESET stops all processing in the
system, including accounting. Therefore, you should use RESET
only if the ABORT command fails to produce the desired results.
If you enter the RESET command, the following message displays:
RESET WILL CLEAR JOB QUEUE CONFIRM WITH 'Y' OR 'N'
If you enter Y, all processing stops, and all jobs in the queue are
cleared.
CAUTION: The RESET command can cause substantial data loss.
Do not use the RESET command without first checking with your
system administrator.
