Managing Print Jobs

4-11

Managing Print Jobs in

Windows 3.1

Your Windows printer software includes two management

utilities: the Spool Manager and Despooler.

◗ The Spool Manager starts automatically when you send a

job to the printer. It allows you to print in the background

while you continue to work on your computer and to hold

jobs to print at a later time. If you’re using your printer on a

network, it also handles multiple print jobs that come in at

the same time. See the next section for details.

◗ The Despooler also starts automatically when you send a

job to the printer. It displays on your screen to show printer

status, as described on page 1-7.

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 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.

◗ To open it while you’re printing, click the

Spool Manager

icon that appears at the bottom of your desktop.

◗ You can open the Spool Manager at any time by

double-clicking the

Spool Manager4

icon in the EPSON

program group.

You see the Spool Manager window:

Note:

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.
