For Windows Me and 98 users

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 the printer, 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 queue, the EPSON Spool Manager sends the job to the printer. You can cancel print jobs from the Spool Manager. You can also view print status information about the print jobs which have been sent to your printer, as well as pause and resume or restart selected print jobs.

Note:

EPSON Spool Manager is not available for Windows XP, 2000 or Macintosh.

After you send a print job, an EPSON Stylus Photo 925 button will appear in the icon tray. Click this button to open the EPSON Spool Manager.
