Select Cancel in the appropriate row to cancel a Read-only job. The status table displays: • Start Time - the date and time the job began. • End Time - the date and time the job ended. • Total Number of Cartridges - the number of cartridges the job will read. • Cartridges Read - the number of cartridges read so far. • Cartridge Read Errors - the number of read operations that failed. If the value in this column is red, select it to view a detailed list of the failed operations. • Data Read - the amount of data in bytes read so far. • Status - the state of the jobs can be In Progress, Cancelling, Cancelled, Complete, or Complete with Errors.
