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. It also handles multiple print
jobs that come in from different computers on the network
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 alert you
about printer status. See page 1-6 for more information on
the Despooler.
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 directory, and assigns it to a print
queue. The software then sends the file to your printer at the
right time.
To open Spool Manager, do one of the following:
To open it while you’re printing, click the
EPSON Spool
Manager
icon at the bottom of your desktop.
You can open Spool Manager at any time by
double-clicking the
Spool Manager4
icon in the EPSON
program group.
Note:
You may not see the
Spool Manager icon if
Program Manager or the
current window is
maximized. Reduce the
window size to see the
Spool Manager icon.
