If you’re printing text from DOS applications and you selected
composite black mode using the Control Panel Print Mode
buttons, text printing will be much slower than true black
printing. Select true black mode instead; see Chapter 2 for
Control Panel instructions.
You see error messages on your PC because of
printing conflicts.
Before sending print jobs to the printer, the EPSON Spool
Manager stores them in a temporary directory. If you have
trouble printing because of other temporary files or directories,
change the EPSON Spool Manager default directory. Follow
these steps:
1. Make a directory on your hard disk to store the Spool
Manager files, for example, C:\SPLTEMP.
2. Open the EPSON program group and double-click the
Spool Manager icon.
3. Make sure
EPSON Stylus 1500
is selected, and then open the
Queue menu.
4. Select
Setup
. In the Queue Setup dialog box, change the
spool directory to the one you created in step 1. Then select
OK
.
5. Open the Options menu.
6. Select
Default Spool Directory
. In the Default Spool
Directory window, select the spool directory you created in
step 1. Then select
OK
.
7. Close the Spool Manager.
