Pausing, resuming and cancelling a job

Pausing the job

It may be necessary to pause a job on SmartBench. For example, to empty an extractor bag on a long job, or to remove debris from the machine.

To pause the job at any time, press the “pause” button in the top right of the Console screen.  

SmartBench will pause the job, and slow down the spindle. 

If you have told SmartBench to lift the spindle on pause, it will do so now. 

Resuming the job

Once paused, press the “Play” button on the right hand side of the screen to resume the job. 

If you need to resume a job after another pausing event, such as an interrupt bar push or spindle overload, press the same green “Play” button. 

Cancelling the job

Pause the job, and then press the “X” button on the left hand side of the screen to cancel it.

Press “Yes” to confirm the cancellation of the job.
