Immediate stop of printing
When this key is pressed together with the <SHIFT> key, no more data

ers, the printing is stopped as soon as the internal buffer of the printer is
empty.

on the individual dialog pages. In the navigation mode (see section

the edit mode (see section 5.2.3) they offer keying aids if possible.
