Spool Printing - Ricoh Aficio MP C2050 Operating Instructions Manual

Spool Printing

Spool Printing allows print jobs transferred from a computer to be temporarily stored, and then prints them
after they are transferred. This shortens printing time as it maximizes printer efficiency.
• During Spool Printing, the hard disk is accessed and the Data In indicator blinks. Turning off the
computer or machine during Spool Printing can damage the hard disk. Also, if the computer or machine
is turned off during Spool Printing, spooled jobs will be deleted. Therefore, do not turn the power of
the computer or machine off during Spool Printing.
• If data is sent to the machine using other protocols besides "diprint", "lpr", "ipp", "ftp", "sftp", "smb",
and "wsd (printer)", Spool Printing cannot be performed.
