Using the Spool Manager Programs
Your printer uses the EPSON Spool Manager to send data to the
printer so you can continue working in your software program
while printing. Spool Manager also includes the Despooler and
Status Monitor (Windows 95 only) programs to let you
monitor and control the print job without exiting your
application program.
The Despooler dialog box, similar to the one shown below,
appears when you send a print job to the printer so you can
monitor the progress of the print job. Use the buttons to cancel,
pause, or restart the job.
If you’re using Windows 95, the Status Monitor box appears
inside the Despooler dialog box (as shown above) each time you
send a print job. It includes a gauge representing the amount of
ink left in the cartridges and an icon that reports the current
status of your printer. The icon also alerts you to any printer
error conditions.
If you don’t want the
Despooler dialog box to
appear each time you
print you can turn it off.
To do this, start Spool
Manager, open the View
menu, and select Show
Despool Popup; the
checkmark next to the
option disappears.
