Managing Print Jobs in Windows

Your Windows ® printer software includes two management
utilities: the Spool Manager and Status Monitor.
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.
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.
Note:
The Status Monitor doesn't appear if you're printing over a
network.
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
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 icon that appears on the Taskbar
Spool Manager
(Windows 95) or at the bottom of your desktop
(Windows 3.1).
To open it at any time, double-click the
icon in the EPSON program group or folder.
Note:
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.
