STOPPING the PRINTING PROCESS
When printing a file in PC-TYPE+, you may at any time press Ctrl\ to
stop the process of sending characters to your printer.
Additionally, unless you are printing a file in the background, you
may press the Esc key in which case PC-TYPE+ will ask if you want to
abort or continue printing.
Your printer has its own print buffer where characters queue up
waiting to be printed. Similarly if you use a "Print Spooler" you
have an even larger buffer of characters waiting to be printed.
Characters in these buffers have already been processed by PC-TYPE+,
and they will continue to be printed even after you press Ctrl\.
Ctrl\ will only stop sending new characters to the printer. You can
turn your printer off to empty its buffer, and most print spoolers
have special commands to empty theirs.
