■Using the Toolbar
The toolbar has three buttons that you can use to pause, resume, or delete the current print job.
Pause: Temporarily halts printing the current document. The current page finishes 
printing.

To cancel all print jobs in the queue simultaneously, choose Settings from the Sta rt 
menu, then select the Printers folder (in Windows XP/Server 2003, select Printers 
and Faxes from Star t menu); Double-click the Canon iC D800 icon to display the

Checking the Status of a Print Job
Viewing the print status
The status of a network printer can be viewed on the print server as well as the client.
For job status to be displayed in the client’s Status Window, the print server’s Status Window 
must be running.
If the status option “While Printing” has been selected for “Display Printer Status 
Window” in the Option Settings dialog box of the Status Window on the client, the client’s 
Status Window opens automatically once printing from the server starts.
If an error occurs on the server, the client’s Status Window for that job opens automatically.
If the client’s Status Window opens automatically, it closes automatically when printing 
completes or the error is cancelled, unless the user interacted with the window or its menus.
Performing print job operations
Print job operations (pause, resume, cancel) may be performed from either the print server or 
the client for the job. After a client performs a print operation, no other operations are allowed 
until the server confirms that the operation has been accepted.
Print job operations cannot be selected on any other screen except the print server or client for 
the job.
If the print server’s Status Window is not running, you cannot perform job operations on the 
client. The client’s Status Window displays the message “Check Print Server.”

Troubleshooting
This chapter includes information to help you solve printer problems. A problem might have 
one or a combination of causes, such as a computer malfunction, software errors, printer cable 
or other printer problems. Many printing problems are related to how your software interacts 
with the printer.
If you can print a self test but the printer does not print other jobs, or your printed output is not 
what you expected, the problem is with your computer, software, or cables.
If your printer is not operating properly, try the suggestions in this chapter in the order listed.
If you have a problem with your printer and you cannot resolve it by referring to the 
information in this chapter, please refer to the Basic Guide.
