Managing Print Jobs and Network Printing
4-2
◗
The Status Monitor, which is available only if you’re using
Windows 95, also starts automatically when you send a job
to the printer. It displays in the lower right corner of your
screen to alert you about printer and ink status, as described
on page 1-5.
Using the Spool Manager
The Spool Manager works like the Windows Print Manager.
◗
To open it 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 the Spool Manager at any time, double-click the
Spool Manager4
icon in the
EPSON
program group or
folder.
You see the Spool Manager window:
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.
Note:
The Status Monitor
doesn’t work if you’re
printing over a network.
