Claims
- 1. A print device that receives multiple print jobs, comprising:
a cancel input that is selectable by a user; and job cancellation logic that is responsive to the cancel input to cancel a number of print jobs that potentially include future print jobs, wherein the number of print jobs to be canceled is a function of how many times the cancel input is selected.
- 2. A print device as recited in claim 1, wherein the number of print jobs is incremented with each selection of the cancel input.
- 3. A print device as recited in claim 1, wherein the number of print jobs is incremented by one with each selection of the cancel input.
- 4. A print device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a status display that indicates the number of print jobs to be canceled.
- 5. A print device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a status display that indicates how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 6. A print device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a status display that indicates how many print jobs are yet to be canceled.
- 7. A print device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a status display that indicates how many print jobs have been canceled and how many print jobs are yet to be canceled.
- 8. A print device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a status display that indicates the number of print jobs, how many print jobs have been canceled, and how many print jobs are yet to be canceled.
- 9. In a print device that receives multiple print jobs, a method comprising:
determining a number of print jobs to be canceled in response to user selection of a cancel input, wherein the number of print jobs potentially include future print jobs; increasing the number of print jobs to be canceled as a function of how many times the cancel input is selected; and canceling the determined number of print jobs.
- 10. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising incrementing the number of print jobs in response to each selection of the cancel input.
- 11. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising incrementing the number of print jobs by one in response to each selection of the cancel input.
- 12. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
displaying the number of print jobs.
- 13. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
displaying how many print jobs are yet to be canceled.
- 14. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 15. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
displaying bow many print jobs are yet to be canceled; and displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 16. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
displaying the number of print jobs; displaying how many print jobs are yet to be canceled; and displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 17. A print device that receives multiple print jobs, comprising:
means for determining a number of print jobs to be canceled in response to user selection of a cancel input, wherein the number of print jobs potentially include future print jobs; means for increasing the number of print jobs to be canceled as a function of how many times the cancel input is selected; and means for canceling the determined number of print jobs.
- 18. A print device as recited in claim 17, wherein the means for incrementing increments the number of print jobs in response to each selection of the cancel input.
- 19. A print device as recited in claim 17, wherein the means for incrementing increments the number of print jobs by one in response to each selection of the cancel input.
- 20. A print device as recited in claim 17, further comprising:
means for displaying the number of print jobs.
- 21. A print device as recited in claim 17, further comprising:
means for displaying how many print jobs are yet to be canceled.
- 22. A method as recited in claim 9, further comprising:
means for displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 23. A print device as recited in claim 17, further comprising:
means for displaying how many print jobs are yet to be canceled; and means for displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
- 24. A print device as recited in claim 17, further comprising:
means for displaying the number of print jobs; means for displaying how many print jobs are yet to be canceled; and means for displaying how many print jobs have been canceled.
