Make sure the printer is still selected and click Printer → Resume to start the printer again. Stopping a printer to perform scheduled maintenance Use this procedure to stop a printer so you can perform routine maintenance, such as updating the microcode, changing paper, or cleaning the printer. While you have the printer stopped, InfoPrint Manager will not be able to send or schedule jobs to it. This procedure will work for printers that use any DSS. 1. Open the InfoPrint Manager Operations GUI or the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI. 2. In the GUI, find the printer that you want to stop and select it. 3. Use Printer->Disable to disable the printer. The InfoPrint printer will stop accepting jobs, but the printer will not stop printing immediately. All of the jobs that were in the processing state before you disabled the printer will print before it stops. 4. After the printer stops printing, you can perform whatever maintenance you need to. 5. When you are finished and the printer is ready to receive jobs again, go back to the InfoPrint Manager GUI. 6. Find the printer in the GUI and select it. 7. Use the GUI to enable the printer again. The printer will be available to accept and print jobs again. Fixing a printer problem and starting to print again Use this procedure when the printer stops printing because of a paper jam, "out of paper" error, or for some other reason. Note: Refer to the online help in the InfoPrint Manager GUI if you need instructions on completing any of these steps. Try this first "Out of paper" errors and some paper jams are easy to recover from. Most of the time, you do not have to do anything to InfoPrint Manager to fix them; InfoPrint Manager just waits until the printer is ready to print again. While it is waiting, InfoPrint Manager continues to accept jobs and schedule them to the printer. If the printer stops printing because of a problem, first try this. 1. Check the printer. v If a lot of pages of the job are ruined and need to be reprinted, stop here. Do not finish this procedure. Use the "Fixing more complicated problems" on page 345 procedure below instead. v Otherwise, load paper if the bins are empty or clear paper jams as the printer console indicates. Once everything is clear, the printer should reset itself and continue sending jobs. InfoPrint Manager should pick up where it left off. 344 InfoPrint Manager for Windows: Procedures

Stopping a printer to perform scheduled maintenance
Use this procedure to stop a printer so you can perform routine maintenance, such

In the GUI, find the printer that you want to stop and select it.
3.
Use
Printer—>Disable
to disable the printer.
The InfoPrint printer will stop accepting jobs, but the printer will not stop
printing immediately. All of the jobs that were in the

time, you do not have to do anything to InfoPrint Manager to fix them; InfoPrint
Manager just waits until the printer is ready to print again. While it is waiting,
InfoPrint Manager continues to accept jobs and schedule them to the printer.
