saved over it. If you do not wish to save the last
print job for reprint, deselect this option. To print a
saved job, simply select the Print button from the
spoolerÕs Current Job tab.
The Job Queue tab appears only when a print job
is being sent to the printer. This tab tells you the
name and status of each job in the queue and
shows you the order in which the jobs will print if
you have sent multiple jobs to the printer. A control
button is also provided which allows you to delete
every job listed in the queue. To delete the job
currently being printed, simply select the Cancel
Print button under the Current Job tab.
As described in Part C of this section, the Color
Sign Printer includes a software application
program called the 32-Bit Print Spooler. In order to
use the 32-Bit Print Spooler, you must be using
Windows 95, and your computerÕs parallel port
mode must be set to ECP with a DMA channel
assigned. Although this may sound complicated,
most computerÕs allow you to verify or change
these settings quite easily. The follow steps will
guide you through the general process of verifying
and/or changing your parallel port settings.
If your computerÕs parallel port is not ECP compatible
or if you are printing from Windows 3.1x, you will not
be able to use the Color Sign PrinterÕs 32-Bit Print
Spooler. Instead, print using the Write Direct To Port
option within the Color Sign PrinterÕs printer driver, or
print directly through the print manager of Windows
3.1x or the system spooler of Windows 95. If printing
through the system spooler of Windows 95, see page 73
for important printing tips.
