To disable or stop photocopying on an Epson L3250, press the Stop/Cancel button on the printer panel while the copy is running. Epson’s support instructions for the L3250 also say that copying can be canceled with the stop button, including from the copy screen on the device itself.

What to do

  • Press the Stop button once to cancel the current copy job.
  • If the printer is copying multiple pages, cancel as soon as you notice it started so it stops sooner.
  • If you mean disabling the copier function completely, that usually requires changing device or software settings, not just pressing a button.

If you mean something else

  • Stop a single copy job: use the Stop button.
  • Disable copying from a connected computer/app: uninstall or remove the Epson software on that computer.
  • Turn off auto power settings that interfere with use: Epson documents mention printer settings such as Power Off Timer and related options in the driver utility.

Simple example

If someone starts a color copy and you want it to stop right away, press Stop on the L3250 panel. That cancels the copying action without needing to unplug the printer.
