Patent number: 7158243Abstract: A printing apparatus can quickly cancel a print job without any influence on the other subsequent print jobs when a print cancel instruction is issued. During printing, if a print cancel instruction is inputted from a printer operation unit, a printer function manager notifies a print command interpreter of the cancellation. The print command interpreter searches data processed at that time in a transmission/reception buffer for an end mark command indicating the end of the cancelled job. Then the print command interpreter deletes the data before the end mark command.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2001Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuya Sakamoto, Takayuki Fujita, Tsutomu Takahashi, Mikio Shiga, Hiroshi Maruoka, Tetsuya Kawanabe, Nobuo Onuma, Masao Maeda, Nobuhiro Saito, Shunichi Kunihiro, Takashi Imoto, Kazuhisa Ebuchi
