Abstract
A method and apparatus for canceling a corrupted print job in an imaging environment is described. The method terminates a corrupted print job by monitoring the image data of the print job for the presence of at least one characteristic indicative of a corrupted print job. When the characteristic is detected, the remaining print job is cancelled thereby preserving resources. An apparatus for monitoring the image data including processes that search for characteristics within the print job that are indicative of corrupted data is also disclosed. The apparatus also initiates a cancellation of the remaining portion of the print job. An imaging device incorporating the method and monitor apparatus is also disclosed.
