r at a tim Today's Recording data to a CD-R is a real-time process that must run nonstop without interruption of the signal. A computer will typically transfer the data to the CD-R faster than it is needed. The CD-R drive stores the incoming data in a buffer as a reserve of data waiting to be written so that minor interruptions or slowdowns in the data flow will not interrupt the writing process. The larger the buffer, the greater the chances of a successful transfer. A buffer underrun error occurs when the flow of data from the original source, such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM drive, was interrupted long enough for the recorder's buffer to empty. The writing action is stopped when this happens, and the recordable disc may be ruined during a write operation. |

Stopping A Print Job That's In Progress
When a Windows based print job is initiated, a number of
hardware and software devices are involved. In order to know what to do to stop the print job, it is important
to understand the entire process that occurs when you print.
When you click on the “Ok” button that starts a print job, typically the first thing that
happens is the information to be printed is “spooled” by Windows and placed in what is
commonly referred to as a “Print Queue”. In most cases, a small printer icon will appear in your Systray
(the small icons in the bottom right corner of you monitor, next to your clock) when a print queue has been
opened.
This “queuing” of print jobs is what allows us to print documents in the background so
that we can go on to other tasks while the pages are being printed. Once a portion or
the entire print job has been captured by the print queue, it starts to feed the
information to your printer.
It's important to remember that as long as you see the little printer icon in your
Systray, the computer still has a portion of the print job that has not yet been
fed to the printer.
To abort a print job, start by pulling the paper from the printer paper tray so that no additional
paper is wasted. Wait until the current page is printed and the printer is giving you an
“Out of paper” error message or indication. Once everything has stopped, turn off the
printer, which will clear the printer’s memory. Next, check to see if the printer icon
is still in the Systray. If it is, double-click it to open the print queue window.
This window will have a list of the current print job(s). To clear all print jobs,
click on PRINTER drop-down menu at the top left of the print queue window and
then choose the “Purge Print Jobs” option. Once you clear the print queue and close it, you can
replace the blank paper and turn your printer back on.
That's it.
