Managing Print Jobs and Network Printing
4-2
Using the Spool Manager
The Spool Manager works like the Windows Print Manager.
When you send a job to your printer, your printer software
creates a temporary journal file, stores it in the C:\TEMP or
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder or directory, and assigns it to a
print queue. The software then sends the file to your printer at
the right time.
◗
To open the Spool Manager while you’re printing, click
the
Spool
Manager
icon that appears on the Taskbar
(Windows 95) or at the bottom of your desktop
(Windows 3.1).
◗
To open it at any time, double-click the
Spool Manager4
icon in the EPSON program group or folder.
You see the Spool Manager window:
The Spool Manager window displays the status of your print
queues and journal files and lets you control them. Here are
some of the things you can do:
◗
Hold or release a queue
◗
Send journal files to your printer over a network
◗
Hold, re-queue, or delete a journal file
◗
Select the information you want to see in the Spool
Manager window
◗
Prevent the Despooler popup window from appearing on
your screen whenever you print
◗
Change your default spool directory
Note:
In Windows 3.1, you
may not see the Spool
Manager icon if the Program
Manager or current window
is maximized. Make the
window smaller to see
the Spool Manager icon.
