20 Using the CD Color Printer Pro with Windows

manager and to send all print data directly to the printer. This

option devotes all of your system resources to the current print

job, thereby increasing overall print speed. When the print job

is finished, your system resources will again be devoted to the

normal function of your on-screen applications. 
Depending upon the brand and model of your computer, you

may or may not wish to select this option when printing. For

some computers, selecting this option will enhance the

rasterizing and printing process. In this case, the 

Write Direct

to Port

option may be selected. For some computers, however,

this option may not be supported and should not be selected.

Use 32-Bit Spooler

Select this option for consistently faster print processing under

Windows 95/98/Me. This option is only selectable if operating

under Windows 95/98/Me and if the included 

32-Bit Print

Spooler

 software has been installed. When selected, this option

allows the printer driver to send all print jobs to the 32-Bit

Print Spooler rather than to the Windows system print spooler.

See Part C of this section for complete details on the 32-Bit

Print Spooler. This option and the 32-Bit Print Spooler software

are not needed and will not function in Windows NT/2000.

Cartridge

Select this button to display the ink cartridges currently

installed, their current ink levels, as well as options for

cleaning and changing a cartridge. Note that the ink cartridge

type installed and ink levels can only be reported when

operating under Windows 95/98/Me and only if the 32-Bit

Print Spooler has been installed.
