Some printer models enable you to confirm the status of the printer and stop printing from a print cancelation display (see "Status Monitor/Cancel").

Double-click the printer icon → click the name of the file you want to stop sending → click [Document] → [Cancel].

For details, see "Changing the Address Book Export Destination." The number of destinations that you can send to at one time depends on the conditions under which the cover sheet has been attached. For details, view Help (see "Viewing Help"). The display may vary according to the operating system and fax driver version you are using.
