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 on your screen to alert you about
printer and ink status, as described on page 1-6.
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 print job 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 print job files and lets you control them. Here are
some of the things you can do:
◗ Hold or release a queue
◗ Send print jobs to your printer over a network
◗ Hold, re-queue, or delete a print job
Note:
The Status Monitor
doesn’t appear if you’re
printing over a network.
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.
