Viewing and Resuming Held Print Jobs
If the source or other settings selected with the printer

error will occur and printing will be suspended.
When an error occurs, printing cannot be restarted until
the printer has been readied by, for example, replacing
the paper.

with the current paper, you can replace the paper with
the media specified in the held print jobs and resume
printing, making your work more efficient.
❏ Print jobs that specify sources that differ from that
selected with the printer

that selected with the printer
❏ Print jobs that specify output paper sizes (widths)
that are larger than that selected with the printer
