The currently printing job is allowed to complete, but no new job is allowed to initiate. Once the current job has finished, the queue is stopped. If LASER_PRINT is an autostart queue, it will not be automatically started until you enter the START/QUEUE command. 2.$ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT BATCH_1 $ SHOW QUEUE/ALL BATCH_1 Batch queue BATCH_1, stopped, on JADE:: $ DELETE/QUEUE BATCH_1 This example shows how to delete the batch queue BATCH_ 1.

Second, the SHOW QUEUE/ALL command is entered to ensure that no jobs are pending in the queue. The screen display shows that no jobs are pending. Finally, the DELETE/QUEUE command is entered to delete the queue BATCH_1.
