Spool Printing
With Spool Printing, the print data is saved in the hard disk before printing. To
use this function, set it from the menu. See p.244 “spoolsw”.
Important
❒ Do not turn off the printer or the computer when a print job is being spooled
and the Data In indicator is blinking. The print job will remain in the hard
disk and be printed when the printer is turned on. The setting can be changed
using the “spoolsw clear job” command on the telnet.
❒ The Spool Printing function is available when the optional hard disk is in-
stalled.
❒ The Spool Printing function is available for data received using diprint, lpr,
ipp, ftp, and sftp (TCP/IP (IPv6)).
❒ When using diprint, the Spool Printing function cannot be used with bidirec-
tional communication.
❒ The domain reserved for spool printing is about 1 GB.
❒ When Spool Printing is on, the size of a single print job cannot exceed 500 MB.
❒ When sending print jobs spooled from several computers, up to one diprint
job, 10 lpr jobs, one ipp job, one ftp job, one sftp job, and one smb job can be
spooled. Jobs exceeding this spooling capacity cannot be executed. It is neces-
sary to wait to add new jobs.
Note
❒ Printing the first page with Spool Printing will be slow.
❒ The computer requires less print processing time when large amounts of data
are spooled.
❒ Stored spool jobs can be viewed or deleted using Web Image Monitor.
❒ The list of spool jobs cannot be viewed from the printer's control panel.
