Pausing, resuming and stopping a job

Control reference

1. Use this as a control reference and written review. No project or machine run is needed to answer the questions.
2. Before a real job, inspect the profile, positioning, intended output and your machine's physical setup.
3. Pause requests a hold. In the demonstration, wait for Paused, controller Hold and the head to stop before treating the job as paused.
4. Resume continues the same paused job. Start begins a new job; it is not another name for Resume.
5. Stop cancels the current job. In the demonstrated setup GRBL then reports Alarm. Follow your controller's documented recovery procedure.
6. Finishing is still part of the run. Wait for completed status and the head to stop. Saving preserves design/settings, not a paused live session.

Quick review

Answer from the control reference. You do not need to connect, start, pause or cancel a job to complete this review.

• Use both app job status and controller status when interpreting the demonstration.
• A later restart requires a fresh setup check and inspection of any work already completed.

• Which control continues the same paused job?
• Can Resume continue the job after Stop?
• Does saving the project preserve a paused controller session?

Explained answers and files

Continue a pause

Resume. Running returns and progress continues within the current live job.

After Stop

The job is canceled. Start begins a new run and requires a fresh setup check.

Saved project

Design/settings are saved. The live paused job session is not.

• job-control-finished.lzrproj

  Optional example under demo-projects; design/settings only.

• job-control-practice.lzrproj

  Optional example under demo-projects; design/settings only.

• job-control-start.lzrproj

  Optional example under demo-projects; design/settings only.

Optional native files in demo-projects preserve the example artwork for inspection. Their names do not imply that they contain a saved Running, Paused or Stopped session.

Matches the demonstrated Beam Bench 0.2.37 controls and the corrected ending where applicable. Later panel layouts may differ.
