Merging and/or Deleting Label Jobs

A large number of print jobs can accumulate in the Label Jobs queue over time.   You might notice this if the list of Label Jobs takes a long time to load.

Ideally jobs would be deleted as they are printed, using F11 Print Delete, but caution often leads to users pressing No to the Deletion prompt (because they haven’t looked at the labels yet) or to using the F9 Print option instead, both of which leaves the job on the queue.

Does this sound like you? HINT: Use the F11 Print Delete option but leave the confirmation prompt on the screen (don’t press Y or N) until you have collected and checked the labels, then press Y to confirm deletion if they are OK.

Deleting Label Jobs
